DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/VSGS/4/">Gen
 eralizations of 3-Sasakian manifolds and skew torsion</a>\nby Ilka Agricol
 a (University of Marburg) as part of Virtual seminar on geometry with symm
 etries\n\n\nAbstract\nWe define and investigate new classes of almost 3-co
 ntact metric manifolds\, with two guiding ideas in mind: first\, what geom
 etric objects are best suited for capturing the key properties of almost 3
 -contact metric manifolds\, and second\, the newly defined classes should 
 admit `good' metric connections with skew torsion with interesting applica
 tions: these include a well-behaved metric cone\, the existence of a gener
 alized Killing spinor\, and remarkable curvature properties. This is joint
  work with\nGiulia Dileo (Bari) and Leander Stecker (Marburg).\n
