On the structure of co-K\"ahler manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, Li et al. showed that all compact co-K\"ahler manifolds arise as the product of a K''ahler manifold and a circle, where the covering transformations act diagonally on the manifold and are translations on the second factor.

On the geometry of almost contact metric manifolds of Kenmotsu type

TL;DR: In this paper, the Riemannian geometry of almost α-Kenmotsu manifolds is analyzed, focusing on local symmetries and on some vanishing conditions for the curvature.

Gradient $$\rho $$ ρ -Einstein soliton on almost Kenmotsu manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the metric of an almost Kenmotsu manifold with conformal Reeb foliation admits a gradient, then either the potential function is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field or the gradient is Einstein.

On surfaces whose twistor lifts are harmonic sections

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study surfaces whose twistor lifts are harmonic sections and characterize these surfaces in terms of their second fundamental forms, and prove that the twistor lift is a harmonic section if and only if the mean curvature vector field is a holomorphic section of the normal bundle.

Torsion of SU(2)-structures and Ricci curvature in dimension 5

TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic torsion of an SU$(2)$-structure on a 5-dimensional manifold was studied and an explicit expression for the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature in terms of torsions forms and its derivative was derived.
