Let $(M, \alpha)$ be a $2n+1$-dimensional connected compact contact toric manifold of Reeb type. Suppose the contact form $\alpha$ is regular, we find conditions under which $M$ is homeomorphic to $S^{2n+1}$.

In this paper we consider the Boothby-Wang construction over twist 1 stage 3 Bott orbifolds given in terms of the log pair $(S_{\bf n},\Delta_{\bf m})$. We give explicit constant scalar curvature (CSC) Sasaki metrics either directly from…

Starting from the product of a $3$-torus and a compact K\"ahler (respectively, hyperK\"ahler) manifold we construct via mapping tori generalized K\"ahler manifolds of split (respectively, non-split) type. In this way we obtain new…

Determining the associated metrics we get a local classification of contact metric three manifolds.

It is known that any contact 3-manifold can be obtained by rational contact Dehn surgery along a Legendrian link L in the standard tight contact 3-sphere. We define and study various versions of contact surgery numbers, the minimal number…

The Kauffman bracket skein module $K(M)$ of a 3-manifold $M$ is defined over formal power series in the variable $h$ by letting $A=e^{h/4}$. For a compact oriented surface $F$, it is shown that $K(F \times I)$ is a quantization of the…

This paper is devoted to the study of curvature and torsion of almost contact curves in trans-Sasakian 3-Manifolds. The conditions for the frenet curves to be almost contact curves in trans-Sasakian 3-manifolds have been obtained.

The paper is a complete study of paracontact metric manifolds for which the Reeb vector field of the underlying contact structure satisfies a nullity condition (the condition \eqref{paranullity} below, for some real numbers $% \tilde\kappa$…

We consider a pair of smooth manifolds, which are the counterparts in the even-dimensional and odd-dimensional cases. They are separately an almost complex manifold with Norden metric and an almost contact manifolds with B-metric,…

In this paper, we prove that evry 3-dimensional manifold M is a ?- recurrent N(k)-contact metric manifold if and only if it is flat. Then we classify the ?-recurrent contact metric manifolds of constant curvature. This implies that there…

Extending the work of G. Sz\'ekelyhidi and T. Br\"onnle to Sasakian manifolds we prove that a small deformation of the complex structure of the cone of a constant scalar curvature Sasakian manifold admits a constant scalar curvature…

We introduce the classes of holomorphic $p$-contact manifolds and holomorphic $s$-symplectic manifolds that generalise the classical holomorphic contact and holomorphic symplectic structures. After observing their basic properties and…

We present a categorical relationship between iterated $S^3$ Sasaki-joins and Bott orbifolds. Then we show how to construct smooth Sasaki-Einstein (SE) structures on the iterated joins. These become increasingly complicated as dimension…

We show that, for any given $q\geq 0$, any Sasakian structure on a closed manifold $M$ is approximated in the $C^{q}$-norm by structures induced by CR embeddings into weighted Sasakian spheres. In order to obtain this result, we also…

If a closed 3-manifold M supports a closed, nonsingular, irrational 1-form which linearly deforms into contact forms, then M supports a K-contact form. On the 3-torus, a closed nonsingular 1-form deforms linearly into contact forms if and…

In this note we observe, answering a question of Eliashberg and Thurston, that all contact structures on a closed oriented 3-manifold are $C^\infty$-deformations of foliations.

In this paper, we study and almost completely classify contact structures on closed 3--manifolds which are totally geodesic for some Riemannian metric. Due to previously known results, this amounts to classifying contact structures on…

We prove that if the $f$-sectional curvature at any point $p$ of a $(2n+s)$-dimensional $f$-$(\kappa,\mu)$ manifold with $n>1$ is independent of the $f$-section at $p$, then it is constant on the manifold. Moreover, we also prove that an…

Given a compact, oriented, connected surface $F$, we show that the set of connected sutured manifolds $(M,\gamma)$ with $R_{\pm}(\gamma)\cong F$ is generated by the product sutured manifold $(F,\partial F)\times[0,1]$ through surgery…

Negative Sasakian manifolds, where the first Chern class of the contact subbundle is a torsion class, can be viewed as Seifert-$S^1$ bundles where the base orbifold has an ample orbifold canonical class. We use this framework to settle…
