We prove that every nearly Sasakian manifold of dimension greater than five is Sasakian. This provides a new criterion for an almost contact metric manifold to be Sasakian. Moreover, we classify nearly cosymplectic manifolds of dimension…

We consider notions of metrized categories, and then approximate categorical structures defined by a function of three variables generalizing the notion of $2$-metric space. We prove an embedding theorem giving sufficient conditions for an…

In this paper we study the embedding of Riemannian manifolds in low codimension. The well-known result of Nash and Kuiper says that any short embedding in codimension one can be uniformly approximated by $C^1$ isometric embeddings. This…

Under a pulled-back approach given in [1] and firstly presented in [2], we introduce, in this paper, the concepts of almost contact and normal almost contact Finsler structures on the pulled-back bundle. Properties of structures partly…

In this paper we introduce the concept of $(\varepsilon)$-almost paracontact manifolds, and in particular, of $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds. Several examples are presented. Some typical identities for curvature tensor and Ricci…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

Recent renewed interest in Sasakian manifolds is due mainly to the fact that they can provide examples of generalized Einstein manifolds, manifolds which are of great interest in mathematical models of various aspects of physical phenomena.…

The analysis of manifold valued data using embedding based methods is linked to the problem of finding suitable embeddings. In this paper we are interested in embeddings of quotient manifolds $\mathrm{SO}(3)/\mathcal{S}$ of the rotation…

We define the notion of normal A-schemes, and approximable A-schemes. Approximable A-schemes inherit many good properties of ordinary schemes. As a consequence, we see that the Zariski-Riemann space can be regarded in two ways -- either as…

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…

This paper is devoted to investigating the isometric immersion problem of Riemannian manifolds in a high codimension. It has recently been demonstrated that any short immersion from an $n$-dimensional smooth compact manifold into…

A structure on an almost contact metric manifold is defined as a generalization of well-known cases: Sasakian, quasi-Sasakian, Kenmotsu and cosymplectic. Then we consider a semi-invariant $\xi^{\bot}$-submanifold of a manifold endowed with…

We prove that every smooth compact submanifold of $\R^n$ can be approximated up to a small isotopy by the real locus of a nonsingular complex algebraic subset of $\C^n$ defined over $\R$. This settles a version of a conjecture posed in 1952…

For any compact Riemannian manifold $(V,g)$ and any Lorentzian manifold $(W,h)$, we prove that any spacelike embedding $f: V \rightarrow W$ that is long ($g\leq f^{*}h$) can be $C^{0}$-approximated by a $C^{1}$ isometric embedding $F: (V,g)…

Using the Cartan-Kahler theory, and results on real algebraic structures, we prove two embedding theorems. First, the interior of a smooth, compact 3-manifold may be isometrically embedded into a G_2-manifold as an associative submanifold.…

The aim of this paper is to prove that every continuous map from a compact subset of a real algebraic variety into a sphere can be approximated by piecewise-regular maps of class C^k, where k is an arbitrary integer.

Motivated by a conjecture in [9] we prove that the K\"ahler cone over a regular complete Sasakian manifold is Ricci-flat and projectively induced if and only if it is flat. We also obtain that, up to $\mathcal D_a$-homothetic…

We analyze the differential relation corresponding to integrability of almost complex structures, reformulated as a directed immersion relation by Demailly and Gaussier. Combining results of Clemente [3], we show that applying h-principle…

We discuss Sasakian-Einstein geometry under a quasi-regularity assumption. It is shown that the space of all quasi-regular Sasakian-Einstein orbifolds has a natural multiplication on it. Furthermore, necessary and sufficient conditions are…

We explore submersions introduced by reducible holonomy representations of connections with parallel skew torsion. A submersion theorem extending previous, less general, results is given. As our main application we show that parallel…
