Topology and closed characteristics of K-contact manifolds
We prove that the characteristic flow of a K-contact form has at least n+1 closed leaves on a closed 2n+1-dimensional manifold. We also show that the first Betti number of a closed sasakian manifold with finitely many closed characteristics is zero.
متن کاملMinimal Atlases of Closed Contact Manifolds
We study the minimal number C(M, ξ) of contact charts that one needs to cover a closed connected contact manifold (M, ξ). Our basic result is C(M, ξ) ≤ dimM + 1. We also compute C(M, ξ) for all closed connected contact 3-manifolds:
متن کاملClosed Characteristics of Second-order Lagrangians
We study the existence of closed characteristics on three-dimensional energy manifolds of second-order Lagrangian systems. These manifolds are always noncompact, connected, and not necessarily of contact type. Using the specific geometry of these manifolds, we prove that the number of closed characteristics on a prescribed energy manifold is bounded below by its second Betti number, which is ea...
متن کاملk-NORMAL SURFACES
Following Matveev, a k-normal surface in a triangulated 3-manifold is a generalization of both normal and (octagonal) almost normal surfaces. Using spines, complexity, and Turaev-Viro invariants of 3-manifolds, we prove the following results: • a minimal triangulation of a closed irreducible or a bounded hyperbolic 3-manifold contains no non-trivial k-normal sphere; • every triangulation of a c...
متن کاملRank and k-nullity of contact manifolds
We prove that the dimension of the 1-nullity distributionN(1) on a closed Sasakianmanifold M of rank l is at least equal to 2l−1 provided thatM has an isolated closed characteristic. The result is then used to provide some examples ofK-contact manifolds which are not Sasakian. On a closed, 2n+ 1-dimensional Sasakian manifold of positive bisectional curvature, we show that either the dimension o...
