Abstract:
We obtain the complete group of structure equations of a locally conformally almost cosymplectic structure (an
lcACS-structure in what follows) and compute the components of the Riemannian curvature tensor on the space of the associated G-structure. Normal lcACS-structures are studied in more detail. In particular, we prove that the contact analogs of A. Gray's second and third curvature identities hold on normal lcACS-manifolds, while the contact analog of A. Gray's first identity holds if and only if the manifold is cosymplectic.
Keywords:
locally conformally almost cosymplectic structure, almost contact manifold, Riemann curvature tensor, G-structure, conformal transformation, structure equations, Gray's identities.
