Invariant structures and gauge transformation of almost contact metric manifolds

Authors: MORTEZA MIRMOHAMMAD REZAII, MEHRNOOSH ZANDI

Abstract: In this paper, conditions for K-contact, Sasakian, and cosymplectic structures to be invariant under gauge transformation are found. Moreover, the same question is studied for 3-Sasakian, 3-almost contact, and 3-cosymplectic manifolds. Finally, it is shown that a slant submanifold of an almost contact metric manifold is invariant by gauge transformation.
