REMARKS ON LEVI HARMONICITY OF CONTACT SEMI-RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS
Perrone, Domenico;

Abstract
In a recent paper [10] we introduced the notion of Levi harmonic map f from an almost contact semi-Riemannian manifold (M, $\small{{\varphi}}$, $\small{{\xi}}$, $\small{{\eta}}$, g) into a semi-Riemannian manifold $\small{M^{\prime}}$. In particular, we compute the tension field $\small{{\tau}_H(f)}$ for a CR map f between two almost contact semi-Riemannian manifolds satisfying the so-called $\small{{\varphi}}$-condition, where $\small{H=Ker({\eta})}$ is the Levi distribution. In the present paper we show that the condition (A) of Rawnsley [17] is related to the $\small{{\varphi}}$-condition. Then, we compute the tension field $\small{{\tau}_H(f)}$ for a CR map between two arbitrary almost contact semi-Riemannian manifolds, and we study the concept of Levi pluriharmonicity. Moreover, we study the harmonicity on quasicosymplectic manifolds.
