Riemannian geometry on contact Lie groups

Abstract: We investigate contact Lie groups having a left invariant Riemannian or pseudoRiemannian metric with specific properties such as being bi-invariant, flat, negatively curved, Einstein, etc. We classify some of such contact Lie groups and derive some obstruction results to the existence of left invariant contact structures on Lie groups 1 .

“…Equipped with a maximum smooth atlas then we have the notion of a differentiable structure on the topological manifold. The notion of manifolds come in many researches (see for example in reduction theory [8], information of geometrical evaluation [9], application of liquid metal related to manifold [10], symplectic structure on affine Lie group [11] , Poisson Lie group [12], and contact Lie groups [13]). Therefore, we believe that the significance of research in manifolds is very important both in pure and applied mathematics including in non-mathematics research areas.…”
