In this paper, we show the existence of (co-oriented) contact structures on certain classes of G(2)-manifolds, and that these two structures are compatible in certain ways. Moreover, we prove that any seven-manifold with a spin structure (and so any manifold with G(2)-structure) admits an almost contact structure. We also construct explicit almost contact metric structures on manifolds with G(2)-structures.

Generating the surface mapping class group by two elements Korkmaz, Mustafa (American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2005-01-01) Wajnryb proved in 1996 that the mapping class group of an orientable surface is generated by two elements. We prove that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. We also prove that the extended mapping class group is generated by two elements, again one of which is a Dehn twist. Another result we prove is that the mapping class groups are also generated by two elements of finite order.
The second homology groups of mapping class groups of orientable surfaces Korkmaz, Mustafa (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2003-05-01) Let $\Sigma_{g,r}^n$ be a connected orientable surface of genus $g$ with $r$ boundary components and $n$ punctures and let $\Gamma_{g,r}^n$ denote the mapping class group of $\Sigma_{g,r}^n$, namely the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of $\Sigma_{g,r}^n$ which are the identity on the boundary and on the punctures. Here, we see the punctures on the surface as distinguished points. The isotopies are required to be the identity on the boundary and on the punctures. If $r$ and...
On symplectic quotients of K3 surfaces Cinkir, Z; Onsiper, H (Elsevier BV, 2000-12-18) In this note, we construct generalized Shioda-Inose structures on K3 surfaces using cyclic covers and almost functoriality of Shioda-Inose structures with respect to normal subgroups of a given group of symplectic automorphisms.
Generalized Shioda-Inose structures on K3 surfaces Onsiper, H; Sertoz, S (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-04-01) In this note, we study the action of finite groups of symplectic automorphisms on K3 surfaces which yield quotients birational to generalized Kummer surfaces. For each possible group, we determine the Picard number of the K3 surface admitting such an action and for singular K3 surfaces we show the uniqueness of the associated abelian surface.
CLUSTER ALGEBRAS AND SYMMETRIZABLE MATRICES Seven, Ahmet İrfan (American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2019-07-01) In the structure theory of cluster algebras, principal coefficients are parametrized by a family of integer vectors, called c-vectors. Each c-vector with respect to an acyclic initial seed is a real root of the corresponding root system, and the c-vectors associated with any seed defines a symmetrizable quasi-Cartan companion for the corresponding exchange matrix. We establish basic combinatorial properties of these companions. In particular, we show that c-vectors define an admissible cut of edges in the a...
