Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The most studied differentiable manifolds are those endowed with certain endomorphisms of their tangent bundles: almost complex, almost product, almost contact, and almost paracontact manifolds, etc. Among complex manifolds, Kaehler manifolds play the most important role via their geometrical properties. Roughly speaking, contact manifolds are the odd-dimensional version of complex manifolds; in particular, Sasakian manifolds correspond to Kaehler manifolds. There are topological obstructions to the existence of Kaehler and Sasakian structures, respectively, on compact Riemannian manifolds.

The geometry of submanifolds in such manifolds is an important topic of research. Obstructions to the existence of special classes of submanifolds in complex and Sasakian manifolds were obtained in terms of their Riemannian curvature invariants.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect selected review works written by well-known researchers in the field, as well as new developments in the geometry of complex and contact manifolds or/and explore applications in other areas.

This Issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue “Complex and Contact Manifolds”.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Rigidity of Holomorphically Projective Mappings of Kähler Spaces with Finite Complete Geodesics
by Lenka Vítková, Irena Hinterleitner and Josef Mikeš
Mathematics 2024, 12(8), 1239; https://doi.org/10.3390/math12081239 - 19 Apr 2024

Abstract
In this work, we consider holomorphically projective mappings of (pseudo-) Kähler spaces. We determine the conditions for finite complete geodesics that must be satisfied for the mappings to be trivial; i.e., these spaces are rigid. Full article

A dualistic structure on a smooth Riemaniann manifold M is a triple (M,g,) with g a Riemaniann metric and ∇ an affine connection generally assumed to be torsionless. From g and ∇, dual connection * can be defined. In this work, we give conditions on the basis of this notion for a manifold to admit an almost contact structure and some related structures: almost contact metric, contact, contact metric, cosymplectic, and co-Kähler in the three-dimensional case.

The objective of the present article is to prove two geometric inequalities for submanifolds in S-space forms. First, we establish inequalities for the generalized normalized δ-Casorati curvatures for bi-slant submanifolds in S-space forms and then we derive the generalized Wintgen inequality for Legendrian and bi-slant submanifolds in the same ambient space. We also discuss the equality cases of the inequalities. Further, we provide some immediate geometric applications of the results. Finally, we construct some examples of slant and Legendrian submanifolds, respectively. Full article
