Get Access to Full TextIt is known that manifolds with G2 structures have almost contact metric structures; see [3; 16]. In this manuscript, we deform a parallel G2 structure by a parallel vector field and investigate the properties of the almost contact metric structure obtained by the deformation of the G2 structure.
