Sub-Riemannian Curvature in Contact Geometry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different notions of curvature on contact sub-Riemannian manifolds and show that all these curvatures are encoded in the asymptotic expansion of the horizontal derivatives of the sub-riemannians distance.

Explicit formulas for biharmonic submanifolds in sasakian space forms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify all biharmonic Legendre curves in a Sasakian space form and obtain their explicit parametric equations in the (2n + 1)-dimensional unit sphere endowed with the canonical and deformed structures defined by Tanno.

Bishop and Laplacian Comparison Theorems on Three-Dimensional Contact Sub-Riemannian Manifolds with Symmetry

Indefinite Almost Paracontact Metric Manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced the concept of almost paracontact manifold, and in particular, of ''para-Sasakian'' manifolds, and showed that if a semi-Riemannian manifold is one of flat, proper recurrent or proper Ricci-recurrent, then it cannot admit an''para'' Sasakian structure.
