We introduce a new functional $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}$ on the space of conformal structures on an oriented projective manifold $(M,\mathfrak{p})$. The nonnegative quantity $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}([g])$ measures how much…
We study a class of simply connected manifolds in all odd dimensions greater than 3 that exhibit an infinite number of toric contact structures of Reeb type that are inequivalent as contact structures. We compute the cohomology ring of our…
The main goal of this paper is devoted to N(k)-contact metric manifolds admitting $\ast$-conformal Einstein soliton and also $\ast$-conformal gradient Einstein soliton. In this settings the nature of the manifold, and the potential vector…
We show that if a connected compact k\"ahlerian surface $M$ with nonpositive gaussian curvature is furnished with a closed conformal vector field $\xi$ whose singular points are isolated, then $M$ is isometric to a flat torus and $\xi$ is…
In this note we give an explicit construction of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on a class of simply connected 7-manifolds with the rational cohomology of the 2-fold connected sum of $S^2\times S^5$. The homotopy types are distinguished by torsion…
We prove some contact analogs of smooth embedding theorems for closed $\pi$-manifolds. We show that a closed, $k$-connected, $\pi$-manifold of dimension (2n + 1) that bounds a $\pi$-manifold, contact embeds in the $(4n-2k+3)$-dimensional…
Let $M$ be a closed K-contact $(2n+1)$-manifold equipped with a quasi-regular K-contact structure. Rukimbira proved that the Reeb vector field $\xi$ of this structure has at least $n+1$ closed characteristics. We note that $\xi$ has at…
We show that an oriented elliptic 3-manifold admits a universally tight positive contact structure iff the corresponding group of deck transformations on $S^3$ preserves a standard contact structure pointwise. We also relate univerally…
We show that for all $n \ge 3$, any $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifold that admits a tight contact structure, also admits a tight but non-fillable contact structure, in the same almost contact class. For $n=2$, we obtain the same result,…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the bi-Legendrian connection $\nabla$ associated to a bi-Legendrian structure $(\cal F,\cal G)$ on a contact metric manifold $(M,\phi,\xi,\eta,g)$ being a metric connection and then we give…
The holonomy group of the adapted connection on a K-contact Riemannian manifold $(M, \theta, g)$ is considered. It is proved that if the orbit space $M/\xi$ of the Reeb field $\xi$ action admits a manifold structure, then the holonomy group…
In this paper we study the foliated structure of a contact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-space. In particular, using the theory of Legendre foliations, we give a geometric interpretation to the Boeckx's classification of contact metric…
If $\eta$ is a contact form on a manifold $M$ such that the orbits of the Reeb vector field form a simple foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on $M$, then the presymplectic 2-form $d\eta$ on $M$ induces a symplectic structure $\omega$ on the quotient…
We study conformal product structures on compact reducible Riemannian manifolds, and show that under a suitable technical assumption, the underlying Riemannian mani\-folds are either conformally flat, or triple products, \emph{i.e.} locally…
In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold $(M^n,\,g,\,u)$ of dimension $n\geq 4$ with boundary $\partial M,$ nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, to the…
A solvmanifold is a compact differentiable manifold M on which a connected solvable Lie group G acts transitively. As the main result, we will see, applying a result of Arapura and Nori on solvable Kaehler groups and some of the author's…
We study coisotropic deformations of a compact regular coisotropic submanifold $C$ in a contact manifold $(M,\xi)$. Our main result states that $C$ is rigid among nearby coisotropic submanifolds whose characteristic foliation is…
A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the noncompact case is also proved. Considering non…
We collect our recent results ([5] and [8]) and we get the equivalence of the three notions of the title under some conditions. We then use this equivalence in order to prove some consequences about Sasakian manifolds, complex almost…
In previous work (arXiv:2205.12067), we defined a notion of a generalized Sasakian structure in the context of generalized contact geometry, the odd dimensional analogue of generalized complex geometry introduced by Hitchin and Gualtieri.…
