On the curvature of contact metric manifolds
Tóm tắt
Some results on Ricci-symmetric contact metric manifolds are obtained. Second order parallel tensors and vector fields keeping curvature tensor invariant are characterized on a class of contact manifolds. Conformally flat contact manifolds are studied assuming certain curvature conditions. Finally some results onk-nullity distribution of contact manifolds are obtained.
