Examples of minimal G-structures induced by the Lee form

Abstract: We compute the condition of minimality of a G-structure for the Gray-Hervella class

m a t h c a l W_{4}

of almost hermitian manifolds and

m a t h c a l C_{5}

class of almost contact metric structures. We also consider

m a t h c a l C_{4}

class by comparison with the Grey-Hervella class

m a t h c a l W_{4}

. The common feature is the existence of the Lee form

h e t a

representing these structures. We show that these classes contain minimal G-structures. Here, minimality means minimality of a

G

-structure inside oriented orthonormal frame bundle

S O (M)

of a Riemannian manifold
