We consider contact structures on simply-connected 5-manifolds which arise as circle bundles over simply-connected symplectic 4-manifolds and show that invariants from contact homology are related to the divisibility of the canonical class…
The paper deals with quasigroups having a trivial group of automorphisms and a trivial group of autotopisms. Examples of such quasigroups and methods of their verification are given.
On connected manifolds of dimension higher than three, the non-existence of $132$ Chinea and Gonz\'alez-D\'avila types of almost contact metric structures is proved. This is a consequence of some interrelations among components of the…
In this paper we give some examples of almost para-hyperhermitian structures on the tangent bundle of an almost product manifold, on the product manifold $M\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M$ is a manifold endowed with a mixed 3-structure and on…
First we introduce a generalization of symmetric spaces to parabolic geometries. We provide construction of such parabolic geometries starting with classical symmetric spaces and we show that all regular parabolic geometries with smooth…
In this survey, we give an introduction to nearly K\"ahler geometry, and list some results on submanifolds of these spaces. This survey tries by no means to be complete.
A Sasaki-like almost contact complex Riemannian manifold is defined as an almost contact complex Riemannian manifold which complex cone is a holomorphic complex Riemannian manifold. Explicit compact and non-compact examples are given. A…
We provide the first non-trivial examples of quasi-isometric embeddings between curve complexes. These are induced either by puncturing a closed surface or via orbifold coverings. As a corollary, we give new quasi-isometric embeddings…
We show that if a simply connected manifold is almost quarter pinched then it is diffeomorphic to a CROSS (a compact rank one symmetric space) or a sphere.
The goal of this paper, using lifting theory it is to produce almost paracomplex struc- tures on the tangent bundle of almost Lorentzian r-paracontact manifold endowed with almost Lorentzian r-paracontact structure. Finally, we discuss the…
In this paper, we explore minimal contact triangulations on contact 3-manifolds. We give many explicit examples of contact triangulations that are close to minimal ones. The main results of this article say that on any closed oriented…
In this paper we extend the almost complex Poisson structures from almost complex manifolds to almost complex Lie algebroids. Examples of such structures are also given and the almost complex Poisson morphisms of almost complex Lie…
We consider a pair of smooth manifolds, which are the counterparts in the even-dimensional and odd-dimensional cases. They are separately an almost complex manifold with Norden metric and an almost contact manifolds with B-metric,…
The space of the torsion (0,3)-tensors of the linear connections on almost contact manifolds with B-metric is decomposed in 15 orthogonal and invariant subspaces with respect to the action of the structure group. Three known connections,…
In this paper, we construct complex metric structures on complex hypersurfaces in hyperkahler manifolds. This construction is that in contact geometry.
In this paper we show that any good toric contact manifold has well defined cylindrical contact homology and describe how it can be combinatorially computed from the associated moment cone. As an application we compute the cylindrical…
We introduce generalized almost contact structures which admit the $B$-field transformations on odd dimensional manifolds. We provide definition of generalized Sasakain structures from the view point of the generalized almost contact…
Parabolic almost conformally symplectic structures were introduced in the first part of this series of articles as a class of geometric structures which have an underlying almost conformally symplectic structure. If this underlying…
The notion of \emph{contact triad connection} on contact triads $(Q,\lambda,J_\xi)$ was introduced by Wang and the present author in early 2010's from scratch as the contact analog to the canonical connection of an almost K\"ahler…
Almost-flat manifolds were defined by Gromov as a natural generalisation of flat manifolds and as such share many of their properties. Similarly to flat manifolds, it turns out that the existence of a spin structure on an almost-flat…
