A Boothby-Wang construction in generalized contact geometry

Abstract

We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.
