Special connections in almost paracontact metric geometry %K Almost paracontact metric manifold‎ %K ‎natural connection‎ %K ‎canonical connection‎ %K ‎Golab connection‎ %K ‎generalized dual connections‎ %R %X ‎Two types of properties for linear connections (natural and almost paracontact metric) are discussed in almost paracontact metric geometry with respect to four linear connections‎: ‎Levi-Civita‎, ‎canonical (Zamkovoy)‎, ‎Golab and generalized dual‎. ‎Their relationship is also analyzed with a special view towards their curvature‎. ‎The particular case of an almost paracosymplectic manifold gives a major simplification in computations since the paracontact form is closed‎.   %U http://bims.iranjournals.ir/article_697_3c95645cb316768a942ba47e61ad4352.pdf
