Abstract:

‎Two types of properties for linear connections (natural and almost paracontact metric) are discussed in almost paracontact metric geometry with respect to four linear connections‎: ‎Levi-Civita‎, ‎canonical (Zamkovoy)‎, ‎Golab and generalized dual‎. ‎Their relationship is also analyzed with a special view towards their curvature‎. ‎The particular case of an almost paracosymplectic manifold gives a major simplification in computations since the paracontact form is closed‎.

Indefinite Almost Paracontact Metric Manifolds

In this paper we introduce the concept of (ε)-almost paracontact manifolds, and in particular, of (ε)-para Sasakian manifolds. Several examples are presented. Some typical identities for curvature tensor and Ricci tensor of (ε)-para Sasakian manifolds are obtained. We prove that if a semi-Riemannian manifold is one of flat, proper recurrent or proper Ricci-recurrent, then it can not admit an (ε...

Metric Connections in Projective Differential Geometry

We search for Riemannian metrics whose Levi-Civita connection belongs to a given projective class. Following Sinjukov and Mikeš, we show that such metrics correspond precisely to suitably positive solutions of a certain projectively invariant finite-type linear system of partial differential equations. Prolonging this system, we may reformulate these equations as defining covariant constant sec...

The differential geometry of almost Hermitian almost contact metric submersions

Three types of Riemannian submersions whose total space is an almost Hermitian almost contact metric manifold are studied. The study is focused on fundamental properties and the transference of structures. 1. Introduction. In this paper, we discuss some geometric properties of Riemannian submersions whose total space is an almost Hermitian almost contact metric manifold. If the base space is an...

On (k, μ)-Paracontact Metric Manifolds

The object of this paper is to study (k, μ)-paracontact metric manifolds with qusi-conformal curvature tensor. It has been shown that, h-quasi conformally semi-symmetric and φ-quasi-conformally semi-symmetric (k, μ)-paracontact metric manifold with k 6= −1 cannot be an η-Einstein manifold.

Warped Product Semi-Invariant Submanifolds in Almost Paracontact Riemannian Manifolds

We show that there exist no proper warped product semi-invariant submanifolds in almost paracontact Riemannian manifolds such that totally geodesic submanifold and totally umbilical submanifold of the warped product are invariant and anti-invariant, respectively. Therefore, we consider warped product semi-invariant submanifolds in the form N N⊥×fNT by reversing two factor manifolds NT and N⊥. W...
