In this survey, we give an introduction to nearly K\"ahler geometry, and list some results on submanifolds of these spaces. This survey tries by no means to be complete.

Weak almost contact manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact distribution is replaced by a nonsingular skew-symmetric tensor, defined by the author and R. Wolak, allowed us to take a new look at the theory of contact…

In the first part, we define and investigate new classes of almost 3-contact metric manifolds, with two guiding ideas in mind: first, what geometric objects are best suited for capturing the key properties of almost 3-contact metric…

We establish a new criterion for a compatible almost complex structure on a symplectic four-manifold to be integrable and hence K\"ahler. Our main theorem shows that the existence of three linearly independent closed J-anti-invariant…

The aim of this paper is to classify compact, simply connected K\"ahler manifolds which admit J-invariant Killing tensor with two eigenvalues of multiplicity 2 and n-2 and with constant eigenvalue corresponding to 2-dimensional…

We provide models that are as close as possible to being formal for a large class of compact manifolds that admit a transversely Kaehler structure, including Vaisman and quasi-Sasakian manifolds. As an application we are able to classify…

In this paper we complete the classification of spin manifolds admitting parallel spinors, in terms of the Riemannian holonomy groups. More precisely, we show that on a given n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, spin structures with parallel…

In this note, we describe the geometry of the quaternionic Heisenberg groups from a Riemannian viewpoint. We show, in all dimensions, that they carry an almost $3$-contact metric structure which allows us to define the metric connection…

Many authors have studied Ricci solitons and their analogs within the framework of (almost) contact geometry. In this article, we thoroughly study the $(m,\rho)$-quasi-Einstein structure on a contact metric manifold. First, we prove that if…

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…

Motivated by the geometry of Levi degenerate CR hypersurfaces, we define a pre-K\"ahler structure on a complex manifold as a pre-symplectic structure compatible with the almost complex structure, i.e. a closed (1,1)-form. Extending Freeman…

Suppose $K$ is a knot in a 3-manifold $Y$, and that $Y$ admits a pair of distinct contact structures. Assume that $K$ has Legendrian representatives in each of these contact structures, such that the corresponding Thurston-Bennequin…

We give an overview of some recent results in hypersymplectic and para-quaternionic Kahler geometry, and introduce the notion of split three-Sasakian manifold. In particular, we discuss the twistor spaces and Swann bundles of…

We construct the first example of a 5-dimensional simply connected compact manifold that admits a K-contact structure but does not admit a semi-regular Sasakian structure. For this, we need two ingredients: (a) to construct a suitable…

We calculate the relevant Spencer cohomology of the minimal Poincar\'e superalgebra in 5 spacetime dimensions and use it to define Killing spinors via a connection on the spinor bundle of a 5-dimensional lorentzian spin manifold. We give a…

We show that symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are related to special types of almost generalized K\"ahler structures. By considering the commutator $Q$ of the two associated almost complex structures…

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…

We define the notion of a Killing (super)algebra for a connection on a spinor bundle associated to a generalised spin structure on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of any signature. We are led naturally to include in the even subspace not only…

In some other context, the question was raised how many nearly K\"ahler structures exist on the sphere $\S^6$ equipped with the standard Riemannian metric. In this short note, we prove that, up to isometry, there exists only one. This is a…

We generalize to nearly K\"ahler manifolds of arbitrary dimensions most of the Hodge-theoretic results for nearly K\"ahler $6$-manifolds that were established by Verbitsky. In particular, for a compact nearly K\"ahler manifold of any…
