Variational problems on contact Riemannian manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized Tanaka connection for contact Riemannian manifolds generalizing one for nondegenerate, integrable CR manifolds was defined, and the torsion and generalized Tanaka-Webster scalar curvature were defined properly.

Canonical connections on paracontact manifolds

TL;DR: In this article it was shown that an almost paracontact structure admits a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion if and only if the Nijenhuis tensor of the structure is skew symmetric and the defining vector field is Killing.
