The odd side of torsion geometry (Q741295)

The authors introduce an odd-dimensional analogue of Kähler with torsion geometry (KT) named `Sasaki with torsion structure' (ST). A Sasaki with torsion manifold (ST) is a normal almost contact metric manifold \((N^n,g,\xi,\eta,\varphi)\) such that \(\xi\) is a Killing vector field. The authors give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a normal almost contact metric manifold to be an ST manifold. Then they study left-invariant ST structures on Lie groups, the Lee 1-form, mapping of ST manifolds, interpolating between ST and KT structures, and finally ST reductions.
