In the mathematical field of differential geometry, an almost-contact structure is a certain kind of geometric structure on a smooth manifold. Such structures were introduced by Shigeo Sasaki in 1960. Precisely, given a smooth manifold an almost-contact structure consists of a hyperplane distribution an almost-complex structure on and a vector field which is transverse to That is, for each point of one selects a codimension-one linear subspace of the tangent space a linear map such that and an element of which is not contained in
