Kenmotsu manifold

In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a Kenmotsu manifold is an almost-contact manifold endowed with a certain kind of Riemannian metric.

They are named after the Japanese mathematician Katsuei Kenmotsu.

be an almost-contact manifold.

One says that a Riemannian metric

is adapted to the almost-contact structure

( φ , ξ , η )

{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}g_{ij}\xi ^{j}&=\eta _{i}\\g_{pq}\varphi _{i}^{p}\varphi _{j}^{q}&=g_{ij}-\eta _{i}\eta _{j}.\end{aligned}}}

That is to say that, relative to

[1] An almost-contact metric manifold

, φ , ξ , η , g )

is said to be a Kenmotsu manifold if[2]

{\displaystyle \nabla _{i}\varphi _{j}^{k}=-\eta _{j}\varphi _{i}^{k}-g_{ip}\varphi _{j}^{p}\xi ^{k}.}
