Almost hyper-Hermitian structures in bundle spaces over manifolds with almost contact \(3\)-structure (Q4515320)

The author considers various kinds of geometrical structures on manifolds. Let us recall some of them: a) A Riemannian \(4n\)-manifold is said to be almost hyper-Hermitian (or quaternion-Hermitian, respectively) if its structure group \(SO(4n)\) can be reduced to the subgroup \(Sp(n)\) (or \(Sp(n)Sp(1)\), respectively). Special subclasses of these classes are hyper-Kähler and hyper-quaternion manifolds. b) An almost contact metric 3-structure on a Riemannian \((4n+3)\)-manifold consists of three almost contact metric structures satisfying some intertwining identities. Again, there is a special subclass consisting of 3-Sasakian structures. The present author defines a bit broader subclass of trans-Sasakian structures. Obviously, if one has a structure of type b) on a base manifold \(M\), then one can consider a structure of type a) on the principal fiber bundle with one-dimensional fibers over \(M\). The main goal of the paper is to study relations between these two types of structures on corresponding manifolds.
