On a remarkable class of paracontact metric manifolds

Abstract

We study a remarkable class of paracontact metric manifolds which have no contact metric counterpart: the paracontact metric $(-1,\widetilde\mu)$-spaces which are not paraSasakian (i.e. have $\widetilde h\neq0$). We present explicit examples with $\widetilde h$ of every possible constant rank and some with non-constant rank, which were not known to exist until recently.
