A structure theorem for co-Kähler manifolds
 
 
Description:  Co-symplectic and co-Kähler structures are the odd-dimensional analogue of symplectic and Kähler structures. In this talk we shall review the basic concepts of both geometries, which are a special case of almost contact metric structures. We will prove a structure theorem for compact co-Kähler manifolds, stating that they are finally covered by the product of a compact Kähler manifold and a circle. This allows us to recover in a very simple way some of the known topological properties of co-Kähler manifolds.

As an application, we shall show that in every odd dimension there exists a compact co-Kähler manifold which is not the product of a compact Kähler manifold and a circle.

The results are obtained in collaboration with J. Oprea.
