On locally conformal symplectic manifolds of the first kind (Q1700034): Difference between revisions

The first main result of this large study is Theorem 4.6: Let \(M\) be a connected manifold endowed with a locally conformal symplectic structure of first kind \((\Phi,\omega )\) where \(\Phi =d\eta-\omega\wedge\eta\). Assume that the anti-Lee vector field \(U\) is complete and that the foliation \(\mathcal F=\{\omega =0\}\) has a compact leaf \(L\). Denote by \(\Psi \) the flow of \(U\) and \(\eta_L=i^\ast \eta\) where \(i:L\rightarrow M\) is the canonical inclusion. Then we have two possibilities: 1. \((\Phi,\omega)\) is a globally conformal symplectic structure on \(M\) and \(\Psi : L\times \mathbb R\rightarrow M\) is an isomorphism of globally conformal symplectic manifolds; 2. there exist a real number \(c>0\) and a strict contactomorphism \(\varphi :L\rightarrow L\) such that \(\Psi\) induces an isomorphism between the locally conformal symplectic manifold of the first kind \(L_{(\varphi,c)}\) and \(M\). In particular, \(M\) is compact. In both cases, each leaf of \(\mathcal F\) is of the form \(\Psi_t(L)\) for some \(t\in\mathbb R\) and \(\Psi_t|_L:L\rightarrow \Psi_t(L)\) is a strict contactomorphism. A second main result is Corollary 3.5: There exists a compact \(4\)-dimensional nilmanifold, not diffeomorphic to the product of a compact \(3\)-manifold and a circle, which has a locally conformal symplectic structure but no locally conformal Kähler metric. Other three very interesting theorems are obtained in Section 6.
