On the Geometry of Normal Locally Conformal Almost Cosymplectic Manifolds

Normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic structures (or lcAly-structures) are considered. A full set of structure equations is obtained, and the components of the Riemannian curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor are calculated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the constancy of the curvature of such manifolds are found. In particular, it is shown that a normal lcAly-manifold which is a spatial form has nonpositive curvature. The constancy of Phi HS-curvature is studied. Expressions for the components of the Weyl tensor on the space of the associated G-structure are obtained. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a normal lcAly-manifold to coincide with the conformal plane are found. Finally, locally symmetric normal lcAly-manifolds are considered.
