A generalization of the Boothby-Wang theorem (Q2479941): Difference between revisions

Let \((M^{2n+s},\varphi, \xi_i, \eta_i)\), \(i,j = 1,\dots, s\), be a manifold with an \(f\)-structure \(\varphi\) with parallelizable kernel; this means that there exist \(s\) global vector fields \(\xi_i\) and 1-forms \(\eta_i\) satisfying the following conditions: \(\varphi(\xi_i)=0\), \(\eta_i\circ \varphi =0\), \(\eta_i(\xi_i)=\delta_{ij}\), \(\varphi^2= -\text{ Id} +\sum_i \eta_i \otimes \xi_i\). On such a manifold, there always exists the compatible Riemannian metric \(g\). Let \(F_{\varphi}(X,Y)= g(X,\varphi Y)\) be a Sasaki form. There is also a tensor \(N_{\varphi}\) defined in the following way: \(N_{\varphi} = [\varphi,\varphi] +2\sum_i d\eta_i \otimes \xi_i\). It is said that \(\mathcal{Z}=(M^{2n+s},g,\varphi, \xi_i, \eta_i)\) is a \(\mathcal{K}\)-manifold if \(dF_{\varphi} =0\) and \(N_{\varphi} =0\). If \(\mathcal{Z}\) is a \(\mathcal{K}\)-manifold, then the following identities hold: \([\xi_i,\xi_j] =0\) and \(L_{\xi_i}\eta_j =0\). The vector fields \(\xi_i\) define a totally geodesic transversally Kähler foliation on \(M\). In this paper the authors prove that the closures of this foliation form a new foliation, which outside a closed nowhere dense subset is given by the fibers of a toroidal principal fibre bundle over a Kähler manifold. More generally, the manifold itself can be partitioned into submanifolds, which are regularly foliated by the closures of leaves of the underlying foliation, and these regular foliations are given by the fibres of toroidal principal fibre bundle over a Kähler manifolds. These theorems can be considered as generalization of the Boothby-Wang theorem.
