Ricci curvatures of contact Riemannian manifolds (Q1109349): Difference between revisions

It is not known whether there exist contact Riemannian manifolds of constant \(\phi\)-sectional curvature which are not Sasakian. The author proves that the Ricci curvature of a contact Riemannian manifold of constant \(\phi\)-sectional curvature satisfies an inequality, from which a condition for such a manifold to be Sasakian is obtained. He also gives a condition for an Einstein contact Riemannian manifold to be Sasakian.
