A positive answer is given to the existence of Sasakian structures on the tangent sphere bundle of some Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is not constant. Among other results, it is proved that the tangent sphere bundle Tr(G/K),…

A first classification of para-K\"{a}hler structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras was obtained by D. Calvaruzo in 2015. In this paper, we propose another classification based on the classification of symplectic Lie algebras. For each…

We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those…

We establish the conditions for the induced generalized metric F structure of an oriented hypersurface of a generalized K\"ahler manifold to be a generalized CRFK structure. Then, we discuss a notion of generalized almost contact structure…

A regular contact manifold is a manifold $M$ equipped with a globally defined contact form $\eta$ such that the topological space $M/\mathcal{R}$ of orbits (trajectories) of the Reeb vector field $\mathcal{R}$ of $\eta$ carries a smooth…

We study transversely K\"ahler almost contact metric Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)$ such that the structure $1$-form $\eta$ is a contact form. They include both quasi Sasakian and anti-quasi-Sasakian Lie algebras of…

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.…

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…

By combining the join construction from Sasakian geometry with the Hamiltonian 2-form construction from K\"ahler geometry, we recover Sasaki-Einstein metrics discovered by physicists. Our geometrical approach allows us to give an algorithm…

Let $G/H$ be a contractible homogeneous Sasaki manifold. A compact locally homogeneous aspherical Sasaki manifold $\Gamma\big\backslash G/H$ is by definition a quotient of $G/H$ by a discrete uniform subgroup $\Gamma\leq G$. We show that a…

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…
