In this paper, a new structure is defined on a topological space that equips the space with a concept of distance in order to do that firstly, a generalization of quasi-pseudo-metric space named R.O-metric space is introduced, and some of…

In this paper, we study and almost completely classify contact structures on closed 3--manifolds which are totally geodesic for some Riemannian metric. Due to previously known results, this amounts to classifying contact structures on…

The paper is a study of geodesic in two-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian metrics. Firstly, the local properties of geodesics in a neighborhood of generic parabolic points are investigated. The equation of the geodesic flow has singularities at…
