Canonical contact forms on spherical CR manifolds

Wei Wang (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We construct the CR invariant canonical contact form can ( J ) on scalar positive spherical CR manifold ( M , J ) , which is the CR analogue of canonical metric on locally conformally flat manifold constructed by Habermann and Jost. We also construct another canonical contact form on the Kleinian manifold Ω ( Γ ) / Γ , where Γ is a convex cocompact subgroup of Aut C R S 2 n + 1 = P U ( n + 1 , 1 ) and Ω ( Γ ) is the discontinuity domain of Γ . This contact form can be used to prove that Ω ( Γ ) / Γ is scalar positive (respectively, scalar negative, or scalar vanishing) if and...

Canonical Poisson-Nijenhuis structures on higher order tangent bundles

P. M. Kouotchop Wamba (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let M be a smooth manifold of dimension m>0, and denote by S c a n the canonical Nijenhuis tensor on TM. Let Π be a Poisson bivector on M and Π T the complete lift of Π on TM. In a previous paper, we have shown that ( T M , Π T , S c a n ) is a Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold. Recently, the higher order tangent lifts of Poisson manifolds from M to T r M have been studied and some properties were given. Furthermore, the canonical Nijenhuis tensors on T A M are described by A. Cabras and I. Kolář [Arch. Math. (Brno) 38 (2002), 243-257],...

Canonical symplectic structures on the r-th order tangent bundle of a symplectic manifold.

Jan Kurek, Wlodzimierz M. Mikulski (2006)

Extracta Mathematicae

We describe all canonical 2-forms Λ(ω) on the r-th order tangent bundle TrM = Jr0 (R;M) of a symplectic manifold (M, ω). As a corollary we deduce that all canonical symplectic structures Λ(ω) on TrM over a symplectic manifold (M, ω) are of the form Λ(ω) = Σrk=0 αkω(k) for all real numbers αk with αr ≠ 0, where ω(k) is the (k)-lift (in the sense of A. Morimoto) of ω to TrM.
