Generalized Sasakian-space-forms. (English) Zbl 1064.53026
The authors introduce generalized Sasakian-space-forms and study their basic properties. They state that every generalized Sasakian-space-form with a $K$-contact structure is a Sasakian manifold, and, if the dimension is $\ge 5$, a Sasakian-space-form. The conditions for a generalized Sasakian-space-form to be a contact metric manifold are investigated. To construct many examples of these manifolds the authors use a wide variety of geometric constructions, such as Riemannian submersions, product manifolds, warped products, conformal transformations, $D$-homothetic deformations and $D$-conformal deformations. Some further results on generalized complex-space-forms are also stated.
