In 1990, D. Chinea and C. Gonzalez gave a classification of almost contact metric manifolds into $2^{12}$ classes, based on the behaviour of the covariant derivative $\nabla^g\Phi$ of the fundamental $2$-form $\Phi$. This large number makes…

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 build homogeneous quasi-morphisms on the universal cover of the contactomorphism group for certain prequantizations of monotone symplectic toric manifolds. This is done using Givental's nonlinear Maslov index and a contact reduction…

We study the geometry of almost contact pseudo-metric manifolds in terms of tensor fields $h:=\frac{1}{2}\pounds _\xi \varphi$ and $\ell := R(\cdot,\xi)\xi$, emphasizing analogies and differences with respect to the contact metric case.…
