Contact-Complex Riemannian Submersions

A submersion from an almost contact Riemannian manifold to an almost Hermitian manifold, acting on the horizontal distribution by preserving both the metric and the structure, is, roughly speaking a contact-complex Riemannian submersion. This paper deals mainly with a contact-complex Riemannian submersion from an η-Ricci soliton; it studies when the base manifold is Einstein on one side and when the fibres are η-Einstein submanifolds on the other side. Some results concerning the potential are also obtained here.

Transversal Jacobi Operators in Almost Contact Manifolds

Along a transversal geodesic γ whose tangent belongs to the contact distribution D, we define the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ=R(·,γ˙)γ˙ on an almost contact Riemannian manifold M. Then, using the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ, we give a new characterization of the Sasakian sphere. In the second part, we characterize the complete ruled real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic space.

A (CHR)3-flat trans-Sasakian manifold

In [4] M. Prvanovic considered several curvaturelike tensors defined for Hermitian manifolds. Developing her ideas in [3], we defined in an almost contact Riemannian manifold another new curvaturelike tensor field, which is called a contact holomorphic Riemannian curvature tensor or briefly (CHR)3-curvature tensor. Then, we mainly researched (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a Sasakian manifold. Also we proved, that a conformally (CHR)3-flat Sasakian manifold does not exist. In the present paper, we consider this tensor field in a trans-Sasakian manifold. We calculate the (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a trans-Sasakian manifold. Also, the (CHR)3-Ricci tensor ρ3 and the (CHR)3-scalar curvature τ3 in a trans-Sasakian manifold have been obtained. Moreover, we define the notion of the (CHR)3-flatness in an almost contact Riemannian manifold. Then, we consider this notion in a trans-Sasakian manifold and determine the curvature tensor, the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. We proved that a (CHR)3-flat trans-Sasakian manifold is a generalized ɳ-Einstein manifold. Finally, we obtain the expression of the curvature tensor with respect to the Riemannian metric g of a trans-Sasakian manifold, if the latter is (CHR)3-flat.

A new curvaturelike tensor field in an almost contact Riemannian manifold II

In the last paper, we introduced a new curvaturlike tensor field in an almost contact Riemannian manifold and we showed some geometrical properties of this tensor field in a Kenmotsu and a Sasakian manifold. In this paper, we define another new curvaturelike tensor field, named (CHR)3-curvature tensor in an almost contact Riemannian manifold which is called a contact holomorphic Riemannian curvature tensor of the second type. Then, using this tensor, we mainly research (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a Sasakian manifold. Then we define the notion of the flatness of a (CHR)3-curvature tensor and we show that a Sasakian manifold with a flat (CHR)3-curvature tensor is flat. Next, we introduce the notion of (CHR)3-?-Einstein in an almost contact Riemannian manifold. In particular, we show that Sasakian (CHR)3- ?-Einstein manifold is ?-Einstain. Moreover, we define the notion of (CHR)3- space form and consider this in a Sasakian manifold. Finally, we consider a conformal transformation of an almost contact Riemannian manifold and we get new invariant tensor fields (not the conformal curvature tensor) under this transformation. Finally, we prove that a conformally (CHR)3-flat Sasakian manifold does not exist.

A new curvature-like tensor in an almost contact Riemannian manifold

In a M. Prvanović’s paper [5], we can find a new curvature-like tensor in an almost Hermitian manifold.In this paper, we define a new curvature-like tensor, named contact holomorphic Riemannian, briefly (CHR), curvature tensor in an almost contactRiemannian manifold. Then, using this tensor, we mainly research (CHR)-curvature tensor in a Kenmotsu and a Sasakian manifold. We introducethe flatness of a (CHR)-curvature tensor and show that a Kenmotsu anda Sasakian manifold with a flat (CHR)-curvature tensor is flat, see Theorems3.1 and 4.1. Next, we introduce the notion of an (CHR)-n-Einstein inan almost contact Riemannian manifold. In particular, in a Sasakian or aKenmotsu manifold, a (CHR)-n-Einstein manifold is n-Einstein, see Theorem5.3. Finally, from this tensor, we introduce a notion of a (CHR)-spaceform in an almost contact Riemannian manifold. In particular, if a Kenmotsuand a Sasakian manifold are (CHR)-space form, then the (CHR)-curvaturetensor satisfies a special equation, see Theorems 6.2 and 7.1.

On a class of contact Riemannian manifolds

We determine a locally symmetric or a Ricci-parallel contact Riemannian manifold which satisfies aD-homothetically invariant condition.
