Killing magnetic curves in three-dimensional almost paracontact manifolds

For an arbitrary three-dimensional normal paracontact metric structure equipped with a Killing characteristic vector field, we obtain a complete classification of the magnetic curves of the corresponding magnetic field. In particular, this yields to a complete description of magnetic curves for the characteristic vector field of three-dimensional paraSasakian and paracosymplectic manifolds. Explicit examples are described for the hyperbolic Heisenberg group and a paracosymplectic model. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
