Abstract
Abstract Almost paracontact metric manifolds are the famous examples of almost para-CR manifolds. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for such manifolds to be para-CR. Next we examine these conditions in certain subclasses of almost paracontact metric manifolds. Especially, it is shown that normal almost paracontact metric manifolds are para-CR. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for paracontact metric manifolds as well as for almost para-cosymplectic manifolds to be para-CR. We find also basic curvature identities for para-CR paracontact metric manifolds and study their consequences. Among others, we prove that any para-CR paracontact metric manifold of constant sectional curvature and of dimension greater than 3 must be para-Sasakian and its curvature equal to -1. The last assertion does not hold in dimension 3. We show that a conformally flat para-Sasakian manifold is of constant sectional curvature equal to -1. New classes of examples of para-CR manifolds are established.
