Abstract:We prove that the dimension of the 1-nullity distribution N(1) on a closed Sasakian manifold M of rank l is at least equal to 2l−1 provided that M has an isolated closed characteristic. The result is then used to provide some examples of K-contact manifolds which are not Sasakian. On a closed, 2n + 1-dimensional Sasakian manifold of positive bisectional curvature, we show that either the dimension of N(1) is less than or equal to n + 1 or N(1) is the entire tangent bundle T M. In the latter case, the Sasakian … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
