On a class of exact locally conformal cosymplectic manifolds (Q1912320)

By an almost cosymplectic manifold is meant a differentiable \((2m + 1)\)-dimensional manifold \(M\) endowed with a 2-form \(\Omega\) of rank \(2m\), a 1-form \(\eta\) such that \(\eta \wedge \Omega^m \neq 0\) and a vector field \(\xi\) satisfying \(\Omega (\xi, \cdot) = 0\) and \(\eta (\xi) = 1\). Such a manifold is said to be cosymplectic if it additionally fulfills the conditions \(d \eta = 0\), \(d \Omega = 0\); and locally conformal cosymplectic (LCC in short) if \(d \eta = \omega \wedge \eta\), \(d \Omega = 2 \omega \wedge \Omega\) for a certain 1-form \(\omega\). Let \((M,g)\) be a \((2m + 1)\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold carrying a vector field \(T\) such that the Riemannian connection is parallel with respect to \(T\). This means that the connection forms \(\{\theta^A_B\}\) associated to a local orthonormal frame \(\{e_A\}\) of \((M, g)\) satisfy \(\theta^A_B = \langle T, e_B \wedge e_A \rangle\), \(\wedge\) being the wedge product. It is shown that in this case \(M\) is a hyperbolic space form endowed with an exact LCC structure. Moreover, \(T\) defines a infinitesimal homothety of the connection forms and a relative infinitesimal conformal transformation of the curvature forms. The existence of a structure conformal vector field \(C\) on \(M\) is proved and its properties are investigated. Finally, the geometry of the tangent bundle of an exact LCC manifold is studied.
