?CONOMICA DEGENERATE FOLIATIONS IN SASAKIAN SEMI-RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS Associate Professor C?t?lin Angelo IOAN, PhD “Danubius” University from Galati Abstract: In the Semi-Riemannian case we do not have the liability of the existence of such a metric being a difference from the Riemannian case. A Semi- Riemannian manifold provided with a normal contact metric structure is called Sasakian manifold.

Definition Let M=M 2n+1 a connected Semi-Riemannian manifold and ?, ξ, η tensorial fields on M of types (1,1), (1,0) and (0,1) respectively. We say that (?,ξ,η) define an almost contact structure on M if: (1) (2) ? 2 Y=-Y+η(Y)ξ ?Y∈X (M) η(ξ)=1 In these conditions we have the relations: η(?Y)=0 ?Y∈X (M) (3) (4) ?ξ=0 We define the contact distribution like D={Y∈X (M)η(Y)=0}. Definition A metric g on M for which: (5) g(?X,?Y)=g(X,Y)-εη(X)η(Y) ?X,Y∈X (M) where ε∈{-1,1} is called compatible metric with the almost contact structure. In the Semi-Riemannian case we do not have the liability of the existence of such a metric being a difference from the Riemannian case. 33  ACTA UNIVERSITATIS DANUBIUS Nr. 1/2005 Definition If on a Semi-Riemannian manifold M 2n+1 we have an almost contact structure (?,ξ,η) and a compatible metric with the structure we shall say that (?,ξ,η,g) define an almost contact metric structure. For Y=ξ in (1) we have with (2) and (4): (6) g(X,ξ)=εη(X) ?X∈X (M) and if in (6) Y=ξ: (7) g(ξ,ξ)=ε Remark If we shall consider in the upper g=-g, ξ=-ξ, η=-η and ?=? we have together with ε=-ε also an almost contact metric structure. We can further suppose that ε=1. Definition: Let M=M 2n+1 a connected Se
