In this note we discuss conditions under which a linear connection on a manifold equipped with both a symmetric (Riemannian) and a skew-symmetric (almost-symplectic or Poisson) tensor field will preserve both structures.

In order to investigate to what extent the calculus of classical (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds can be extended to a noncommutative setting, we introduce pseudo-Riemannian calculi of modules over noncommutative algebras. In this framework,…

It is shown that the horizontal holonomy group of a K-contact sub-Riemannian manifold either coincides with the holonomy group of a Riemannian manifold, or it is a codimension-one normal subgroup of the later group. The question of…
