On holonomy groups of K-contact sub-pseudo-Riemannian manifolds
Abstract
This article investigates the holonomy groups of K-contact sub-pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. The primary result is a proof that the horizontal holonomy group either coincides with the adapted holonomy group or acts as its normal subgroup of codimension one. The theory is adapted for metrics of indefinite signature, bypassing the problem of subspace degeneracy that previously prevented the use of established orthogonal decomposition methods. It is established that, in the sub-Lorentzian case, the adapted holonomy group corresponds to the holonomy group of a certain Lorentzian manifold. This work also provides a complete classification of codimension-one ideals for Lorentzian holonomy algebras and presents specific examples of structures based on Cahen-Wallach spaces and Kähler manifolds.
