In this paper we generalize the main notions from the geometry of (almost) contact manifolds in the category of Lie algebroids. Also, using the framework of generalized geometry, we obtain an (almost) contact Riemannian Lie algebroid…

Using convex integration we give a constructive proof of the well-known fact that every continuous curve in a contact $3$-manifold can be approximated by a Legendrian curve.

Smale-Barden manifolds are simply-connected closed 5-manifolds. It is an important and difficult question to decide when a Smale-Barden manifold admits a Sasakian or a K-contact structure. The known constructions of Sasakian and K-contact…

We prove that all flexible Weinstein fillings of a given contact manifold with vanishing first Chern class have isomorphic integral cohomology; in certain cases, we prove that all flexible fillings are symplectomorphic. As an application,…

We consider a consider the case of a compact manifold M, together with the following data: the action of a compact Lie group H and a smooth H-invariant distribution E, such that the H-orbits are transverse to E. These data determine a…

In this paper we investigate the form of calibrated M5-branes in the presence of a nonvanishing 3-form field H. We discuss the influence of the H-field on the deformation of supersymmetric n-cycles (in particular SLAG submanifolds in R^n).…

We construct a simple topological invariant of certain 3-manifolds, including quotients of the 3-sphere by finite groups, based on the fact that the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivialisable. This invariant is strong…

We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…

We prove the existence of the V-states for the generalized inviscid SQG equations with $\alpha\in ]0,1[.$ These structures are special rotating simply connected patches with $m-$ fold symmetry bifurcating from the trivial solution at some…

We demonstrate that the functorial properties of the symplectic field theory under strong cobordisms and surgery cobordisms can produce finite algebraic (planar) torsions from simple examples, which gives a unified treatment of most of the…

Weak almost contact manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact distribution is approximated by a nonsingular skew-symmetric tensor, defined by the author and R. Wolak (2022), allowed a new look at the theory of contact…

We study almost bi-paracontact structures on contact manifolds. We prove that if an almost bi-paracontact structure is defined on a contact manifold $(M,\eta)$, then under some natural assumptions of integrability, $M$ carries two…

An almost contact metric structure is parametrized by a section of an associated homogeneous fibre bundle, and conditions for this to be a harmonic section, and a harmonic map, are studied. These involve the characteristic vector field, and…

We study the approximation of J-holomorphic maps continuous to the boundary from ma domain in the complex plane into an almost complex manifold by maps J-holomorphic to the boundary, giving partial results in the non-integrable case. For…

For the standard metric on the six-dimensional sphere, with Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$, we show there is no almost complex structure $J$ such that $\nabla_X J$ and $\nabla_{JX} J$ commute for every $X$, nor is there any integrable $J$…

We prove that closed connected contact manifolds of dimension $\geq 5$ related by an h-cobordism with a flexible Weinstein structure become contactomorphic after some kind of stabilization. We also provide examples of non-conjugate contact…

We consider a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold V with a metric g and an affinor structure q. The local coordinates of these tensors are circulant matrices. In V we define an almost conformal transformation. Using that definition we…

There are studied in details 5-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds equipped with the structure analogous to the almost cosymplectic (almost coKaehler) structure. The curvature by assumption commutes with the structure affinor and all…

We introduce a new geometric structure on differentiable manifolds. A \textit{Contact} \textit{Pair}on a manifold $M$ is a pair $(\alpha,\eta) $ of Pfaffian forms of constant classes $2k+1$ and $2h+1$ respectively such that $\alpha\wedge…
