Geometry of Kaluza–Klein metrics on the sphere {\mathbb{S}^3}

TL;DR: In this paper, a new family of Riemannian metrics on the three-sphere is introduced, which are called the Kaluza-Klein type and are induced in a natural way by the corresponding metrics defined on the tangent sphere bundle.

The harmonicity of nearly cosymplectic structures

TL;DR: In this article, the class of nearly cosymplectic almost contact structures on a Rie- mannian manifold and prove curvature identities which imply the harmonicity of their parametrizing section, thus complementing earlier results on nearly- Kahler almost complex structures.

Approaches to generalize contact structures

TL;DR: In this article, the integrability of almost contact structures from both a Sasakian perspective in terms of a cone construction and from a Courant algebroid perspective is examined.

Levi-Kahler reduction of CR structures, products of spheres, and toric geometry

TL;DR: In this article, the Levi-Kahler quotient of toric CR manifolds has been studied in arbitrary codimension, and a process called the Levi Kullback quotient is introduced for constructing Kahler metrics from CR structures with a transverse torus action.
