We discuss general notions of metrics and of Finsler structures which we call weak metrics and weak Finsler structures. Any convex domain carries a canonical weak Finsler structure, which we call its tautological weak Finsler structure. We…

We study integrability of generalized almost contact structures, and find conditions under which the main associated maximal isotropic vector bundles form Lie bialgebroids. These conditions differentiate the concept of generalized contact…

The notions of a twistor space of a contact manifold and a contact connection on such a manifold have been introduced by L. Vezzoni as extensions of the corresponding notions in the case of a symplectic manifold. Given a contact connection…

An absolute parallelism (AP-) space having Finslerian properties is called FAP-space. This FAP-structure is more wider than both conventional AP and Finsler structures. In the present work, more geometric objects as curvature and torsion…

Natural metric structures on the tangent bundle and tangent sphere bundles $S_rM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M$ with radius function $r$ enclose many important unsolved problems. Admitting metric connections on $M$ with torsion, we deduce…

Let $M=P(E)$ be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E \to \Sigma$ over a compact complex curve $\Sigma$ of genus $\ge 2$. Building on ideas of Fujiki, we prove that $M$…

In the paper, we first study more general models, where $F$ has constant rank and is based on weak metric structures (introduced by the first author and R. Wolak), which generalize almost complex and almost contact metric $f$-contact…
