Abstract: An $f$-structure on a manifold $M$ is an endomorphism field $phi$ satisfying $ph{i}^3+phi=0$. We call an $f$-structure {em regular} if the distribution $T=kerphi$ is involutive and regular, in the sense of Palais. We show that when a regular $f$-structure on a compact manifold $M$ is an almost $S$-structure, as defined by Duggal, Ianus, and Pastore, it determines a torus fibration of $M$ over a symplectic manifold. When $ankT=1$, this result reduces to the Boothby-Wang theorem. Unlike similar results due to Blair-Ludden-Yano and Soare, we do not assume that the $f$-structure is normal. We also show that given an almost $mathcalS$-structure, we obtain an associated Jacobi structure, as well as a notion of symplectization.

Summary: An \(f\)-structure on a manifold \(M\) is an endomorphism field \(\varphi\) satisfying \(\varphi^3 + \varphi = 0\). We call an \(f\)-structure \textit{regular} if the distribution \(T = \ker \varphi\) is involutive and regular, in the sense of Palais. We show that when a regular \(f\)-structure on a compact manifold \(M\) is an almost \(\mathcal S\)-structure, it determines a torus fibration of \(M\) over a symplectic manifold. When rank \(T = 1\), this result reduces to the Boothby-Wang theorem. Unlike similar results for manifolds with \(\mathcal S\)-structure or \(\mathcal K\)-structure, we do not assume that the \(f\)-structure is normal. We also show that given an almost \(\mathcal S\)-structure, we obtain an associated Jacobi structure, as well as a notion of symplectization.
