Pseudo Cauchy Riemann and Framed Manifolds with Physical Applications

Abstract

We introduce a pseudo Cauchy Riemann(PCR)-structure defined by a real tensor field $\bar{J}$ of type $(1, 1)$ of a real semi-Riemannian manifold $(\bar{M}, \bar{g})$ such that $\bar{J}^2 = \lambda^2 I$, where $\lambda$ is a function on $\bar{M}$. We prove that, contrary to the even dimensional CR-manifolds, a PCR-manifold is not necessarily of even dimension if $\lambda$ is every where non-zero real function on $\bar{M}$, supported by two odd dimensional examples and one physical model. The metric of PCR-manifold is not severely restricted. Then, we define a pseudo framed(PF)-manifold $(M, g)$ by a real tensor field $f$ such that $f^3 = \lambda^2 f$, where $T(M)$ splits into a direct sum of two subbundles, namely $im(f)$ (with a PCR-structure) and $ ker(f)$, supported by some mathematical and physical examples. Finally, we study a revised version of a contact manifold, called contact PF-manifold, which is a particular case of a PF-manifold where dim$(ker(f))=1$. Contrary to the odd dimensional contact manifolds, there do exist even dimensional contact PF-manifolds. We also propose several open problems.
