The main purpose of this article is to classify contact structures on some 3-manifolds, namely lens spaces, most torus bundles over a circle, the solid torus, and the thickened torus T^2 x [0,1]. This classification completes earlier work…
We establish a parametric extension $h$-principle for overtwisted contact structures on manifolds of all dimensions, which is the direct generalization of the $3$-dimensional result from \cite{Eli89}. It implies, in particular, that any…
We consider local geometry of sub-pseudo-Riemannian structures on contact manifolds. We construct fundamental invariants of the structures and show that the structures give rise to Einstein-Weyl geometries in dimension 3, provided that…
We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and review the literature in terms of this scheme. Moreover, we determine necessary and…
We study a class of simply connected manifolds in all odd dimensions greater than 3 that exhibit an infinite number of toric contact structures of Reeb type that are inequivalent as contact structures. We compute the cohomology ring of our…
The main purpose of this work is to generalize the $S^3_\bfw$ Sasaki join construction $M\star_\bfl S^3_\bfw$ described in \cite{BoTo14a} when the Sasakian structure on $M$ is regular, to the general case where the Sasakian structure is…
Recent renewed interest in Sasakian manifolds is due mainly to the fact that they can provide examples of generalized Einstein manifolds, manifolds which are of great interest in mathematical models of various aspects of physical phenomena.…
We prove the existence of extremal Sasakian structures occurring on a countably infinite number of distinct contact structures on $T^2\times S^3$ and certain related manifolds. These structures occur in bouquets and exhaust the Sasaki cones…
The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional conformally flat quasi-Para-Sasakian manifolds. First, the necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for 3-dimensional quasi-Para-Sasakian manifolds to be conformally flat.…
In this note we observe, answering a question of Eliashberg and Thurston, that all contact structures on a closed oriented 3-manifold are $C^\infty$-deformations of foliations.
In this paper we have studied pseudosymmetric, Ricci-pseudosymmetric and projectively pseudosymmetric para-Sasakian manifold admitting a quarter-symmetric metric connection and constructed examples of 3-dimensional and 5-dimensional…
In this paper, we study the coupled Einstein constraint equations on complete manifolds through the conformal method, focusing on non-compact manifolds with flexible asymptotics. This is physically well-motivated by standard cosmological…
In this work, we prove that every complex contact structure gives rise to a distinguished type of almost contact metric 3-structure. As an application of our main result, we provide several new examples of manifolds which admit taut contact…
In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n+1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric then its scalar curvature $s$ satisfies $-6\leqslant s…
The purpose of this note is to introduce a new method for proving the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on certain simply connected odd dimensional manifolds. We then apply this method to prove the existence of new Sasakian-Einstein…
We review the construction of almost contact metric (three-) structures, abbreviated ACM(3)S, on manifolds with a $G_2$ structure. These are of interest for certain supersymmetric configurations in string and M-theory. We compute the…
In this paper, we show that a generalized Sasakian space form of dimension greater than three is either of constant sectional curvature; or a canal hypersurface in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces; or locally a certain type of twisted product…
The object of this paper is study $(\epsilon)$-para-Sasakian 3-manifolds satisfying certain conditions on the $\mathcal{Z}$ tensor. We characterize, $\mathcal{Z}$-symmetric; $\mathcal{Z}$-semisymmetric; $\mathcal{Z}$-pseudosymmetric; and…
Quasi contact metric manifolds (introduced by Y. Tashiro and then studied by several authors) are a natural extension of the contact metric manifolds. Weak almost contact metric manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact…
We provide a new, self-contained and more conceptual proof of the result that an almost contact metric manifold of dimension greater than 5 is Sasakian if and only if it is nearly Sasakian.
