We define \emph{$0$-shifted} and \emph{$+1$-shifted contact structures} on differentiable stacks, thus laying the foundations of \emph{shifted Contact Geometry}. As a side result we show that the kernel of a multiplicative $1$-form on a Lie…

Almost paracontact Riemannian manifolds of the lowest dimension are studied, whose paracontact distributions are equipped with an almost paracomplex structure. These manifolds are constructed as a product of a real line and a 2-dimensional…

We consider complements of standard Seifert surfaces of special alternating links. On these handlebodies, we use Honda's method to enumerate those tight contact structures whose dividing sets are isotopic to the link, and find their number…

In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n+1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric then its scalar curvature $s$ satisfies $-6\leqslant s…

Kahler manifolds have a natural hyperkahler structure associated with (part of) their cotangent bundles. Using projective superspace, we construct four-dimensional N = 2 models on the tangent bundles of some classical Hermitian symmetric…

To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…

We show that for any convex surface S in a contact 3-manifold, there exists a metric on S and a neighbourhood contact isotopic to $S \times I$ with contact structure given as $\ker(ud - \star du)$ where u is an eigenfunction of the…

The space of invariant affine connections on every $3$-Sasakian homogeneous manifold of dimension at least $7$ is described. In particular, the remarkable subspaces of invariant affine metric connections, and the subclass with skew-torsion,…

In this paper, we find infinite hyperbolic 3-manifolds that admit no weakly symplectically fillable contact structures, using tools in Heegaard Floer theory. We also remark that part of these manifolds do admit tight contact structures.

We study a 3-dimensional topological sigma-model, whose target space is a hyper-Kahler manifold X. A Feynman diagram calculation of its partition function demonstrates that it is a finite type invariant of 3-manifolds which is similar in…

In this paper, we introduce a contact pseudo-metric structure on a tangent sphere bundle $T_\varepsilon M$. we prove that the tangent sphere bundle $T_{\varepsilon}M$ is $(\kappa, \mu)$-contact pseudo-metric manifold if and only if the…

We review the general properties of target spaces of hypermultiplets, which are quaternionic-like manifolds, and discuss the relations between these manifolds and their symmetry generators. We explicitly construct a one-to-one map between…

The present study initially identify the generalized symmetric connections of type $(\alpha,\beta)$, which can be regarded as more generalized forms of quarter and semi-symmetric connections. The quarter and semi-symmetric connections are…

A type of almost contact hypersurfaces with Norden metric of a Kaehler manifold with Norden metric is considered. The curvature tensor and the special sectional curvatures are characterized. The canonical connection on such manifolds is…

The quest of the offering article is to investigate \emph{almost Riemann soliton} and \emph{gradient almost Riemann soliton} in a non-cosymplectic normal almost contact metric manifold $M^3$. Before all else, it is proved that if the metric…

We study hyperkahler cones and their corresponding quaternion-Kahler spaces. We present a classification of 4(n-1)-dimensional quaternion-Kahler spaces with n abelian quaternionic isometries, based on dualizing superconformal tensor…

We show that the germ of the contact structure surrounding a certain kind of convex hypersurfaces is overtwisted. We then find such hypersurfaces close to any plastikstufe with toric core so that these imply overtwistedness. All proofs in…

We define the contact homology algebra for any contact manifold and show that it is an invariant of the contact manifold. More precisely, given a contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ and some auxiliary data $\mathcal{D}$, we define an algebra…

A hypersymplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a triple $\omega_1, \omega_2, \omega_3$ of 2-forms for which every non-trivial linear combination $a^1\omega_1 + a^2 \omega_2 + a^3 \omega_3$ is a symplectic form. Donaldson has conjectured…

Given a quaternionic manifold $M$ with a certain $\mathrm{U}(1)$-symmetry, we construct a hypercomplex manifold $M'$ of the same dimension. This construction generalizes the quaternionic K\"ahler/hyper-K\"ahler-correspondence. As an example…
