A Cartan manifold is a smooth manifold M whose slit cotangent bundle T*M0 is endowed with a regular Hamiltonian K which is positively homogeneous of degree 2 in momenta. The Hamiltonian K defines a (pseudo)-Riemannian metric gij in the…

Let $F^{2n}=(M,M',F^{\ast})$ be an even-dimensional pseudo-Finsler manifold. We construct an almost hypercomplex structure on any chart domain of a certain atlas of $M'$ by using a considered non-linear connection. Then by using the almost…

In this paper we consider a manifold $(M,\nabla )$ with a symmetric linear connection $\nabla $ which induces on the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of $M$ a semi-Riemannian metric $\overline g$ with a neutral signature. The metric $\overline g$ is…

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.…

On a sub-Riemannian manifold, a connection with skew-symmetric torsion is defined as the unique connection from the class of $N$-connections that has this property. Two cases are considered separately: sub-Riemannian structure of even rank,…

A dualistic structure on a smooth Riemaniann manifold $M$ is a triple $(M,g,\nabla)$ with $g$ a Riemaniann metric and $\nabla$ an affine connection, generally assumed to be torsionless. From $g$ and $\nabla$, the dual connection $\nabla^*$…

Munteanu defined the canonical connection associated to a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold $(M,F)$. We first prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature tensors of the canonical connection coincide with those of the…

In this paper we study almost complex manifolds admitting a quasi-K\"ahler Chern-flat metric (Chern-flat means that the holonomy of the Chern connection is trivial). We prove that in the compact case such manifolds are all nilmanifolds.…

We consider complete nearly K\"ahler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. We prove some metric properties of strict nearly K\"ahler manifolds and give a sufficient condition for the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian…

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…

Smale-Barden manifolds are simply-connected closed 5-manifolds. It is an important and difficult question to decide when a Smale-Barden manifold admits a Sasakian or a K-contact structure. The known constructions of Sasakian and K-contact…

We study a sequence of connections which is associated with a Riemannian metric and an almost symplectic structure on a manifold. We prove that if this sequence is trivial (i.e. constant) or 2-periodic, then the manifold has a canonical…

Let $F: T^{1,0}M\rightarrow[0,+\infty)$ be a strongly convex complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold $M$ and $\pmb{J}$ the canonical complex structure on the complex manifold $T^{1,0}M$. We give a geometric characterization of strongly…

A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…

Let $(\acute{N},g,\nabla )$\ be a $2n$-dimensional quasi-statistical manifold that admits a pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ (or $h)$ and a linear connection $\nabla $ with torsion. This paper aims to study an almost Hermitian structure $(g,L)$…

In this paper we provide an explicit description of normal almost contact structures obtained from Cartan-Ehresmann connections (gauge fields) on principal $S^{1}$-bundles over complex flag manifolds. The main feature of our approach is to…

Given a semi-Hamiltonian system, we construct an $F$-manifold with a connection satisfying a suitable compatibility condition with the product. We exemplify this procedure in the case of the so-called $\epsilon$-system. The corresponding…

The structure of nearly K\"ahler manifolds was studied by Gray in several papers. More recently, a relevant progress on the subject has been done by Nagy. Among other results, he proved that a strict and complete nearly K\"ahler manifold is…

We carry on a systematic study of nearly Sasakian manifolds. We prove that any nearly Sasakian manifold admits two types of integrable distributions with totally geodesic leaves which are, respectively, Sasakian or $5$-dimensional nearly…
