We introduce the notion of contact pair structure and the corresponding associated metrics, in the same spirit of the geometry of almost contact structures. We prove that, with respect to these metrics, the integral curves of the Reeb vector fields are geodesics and that the leaves of the Reeb action are totally geodesic. Mreover, we show that, in the case of a metric contact pair with decomposable endomorphism, the characteristic foliations are orthogonal and their leaves carry induced contact metric structures.

We study harmonic almost contact structures in the context of contact metric manifolds, and an analysis is carried out when such a manifold fibres over an almost Hermitian manifold, as exemplified by the Boothby-Wang fibration. Two types of almost contact metric warped products are also studied, relating their harmonicity to that of the almost Hermitian structure on the base or fibre.
We study a cone structure ${mathcal C} subset {mathbb P} D$ on a holomorphic contact manifold $(M, D subset T_M)$ such that each fiber ${mathcal C}_x subset {mathbb P} D_x$ is isomorphic to a Legendrian submanifold of fixed isomorphism type. By characterizing subadjoint varieties among Legendrian submanifolds in terms of contact prolongations, we prove that the canonical distribution on the associated contact G-structure admits a holomorphic horizontal splitting.
An almost contact metric structure is parametrized by a section of an associated homogeneous fibre bundle, and conditions for this to be a harmonic section, and a harmonic map, are studied. These involve the characteristic vector field, and the almost complex structure in the contact subbundle. Several examples are given where the harmonic section equations reduce to those for the characteristic field to be a harmonic section of the unit tangent bundle. These include trans-Sasakian structures, and certain nearly cosymplectic structures. On the other hand, we obtain examples where the characteristic field is harmonic but the almost contact structure is not. Many of our examples are obtained by considering hypersurfaces of almost Hermitian manifolds, with the induced almost contact structure, and comparing the harmonic section equations for both structures.
We review results about $G_2$-structures in relation to the existence of special metrics, such as Einstein metrics and Ricci solitons, and the evolution under the Laplacian flow on non-compact homogeneous spaces. We also discuss some examples in detail.
A Jacobi structure $J$ on a line bundle $Lto M$ is weakly regular if the sharp map $J^sharp : J^1 L to DL$ has constant rank. A generalized contact bundle with regular Jacobi structure possess a transverse complex structure. Paralleling the work of Bailey in generalized complex geometry, we find condition on a pair consisting of a regular Jacobi structure and an transverse complex structure to come from a generalized contact structure. In this way we are able to construct interesting examples of generalized contact bundles. As applications: 1) we prove that every 5-dimensional nilmanifold is equipped with an invariant generalized contact structure, 2) we show that, unlike the generalized complex case, all contact bundles over a complex manifold possess a compatible generalized contact structure. Finally we provide a counterexample presenting a locally conformal symplectic bundle over a generalized contact manifold of complex type that do not possess a compatible generalized contact structure.
