Skew‐symmetric vector fields on a CR‐submanifold of a para‐Kählerian manifold

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 2004, Issue 10, Page 535-540, 2004., 2004
We deal with a CR‐submanifold M of a para‐Kählerian manifold M˜, which carries a J‐skew‐symmetric vector field X. It is shown that X defines a global Hamiltonian of the symplectic form Ω on M⊤ and JX is a relative infinitesimal automorphism of Ω. Other geometric properties are given.

On a class of even-dimensional manifolds structured by an affine connection

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2002
We deal with a 2m-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M,g) structured by an affine connection and a vector field 𝒯, defining a 𝒯-parallel connection. It is proved that 𝒯 is both a torse forming vector field and an exterior concurrent vector
