Abstract


Weak almost contact structures, defined by the author and R. Wolak, allowed us to take a new look at the theory of contact manifolds. The paper surveys recent results (concerning geodesic and Killing fields, rigidity and splitting theorems, Riccitype solitons and Einstein-type metrics, etc.) in this new field of Riemannian geometry.


Keywords

weak almost contact structures, contact manifolds, geodesic fields, Killing fields, Ricci-type solitons, Einstein-type metrics, Riemannian geometry.
