Almost contact metric structures on the hypersurface of almost Hermitian manifolds (Q2516408)

This is a review paper on the theories of almost contact, almost Hermitian and Kenmotsu structures and their use in classical differential geometry. The authors give a very comprehensive account on the historical development of these structures using only Riemannian metrics, although modern applicable studies on these structures have been extended using semi-Riemannian and degenerate metrics for the purpose of their applications. Also, there is a long list of 200 references (which include some minor side references), but, they miss to include the fundamental works of Chen, a 1989 paper of Grey on some global properties of contact structures and \textit{S. MacLane} [Reports of the Midwest Category Seminar. II. York: Springer-Verlag (1968; Zbl 0165.00201)] on physical applications of contact structures.
