Mixed metric 3-contact manifolds and paraquaternionic Kähler manifolds
We study manifolds endowed with mixed metric 3--contact structures, proving that the distribution spanned by the Reeb vector fields is integrable, with totally geodesic integral manifolds, of constant sectional curvature $k=\pm1$. We also prove a result of projectability of such structures onto paraquaternionic Kählerian structures.

Curvature of a class of indefinite globally framed $f$-manifolds
We present a compared analysis of some properties of indefinite almost $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds and indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds. We give some characterizations in terms of the Levi-Civita connection and of the characteristic vector fields. We study the sectional and $ϕ$-sectional curvature of indefinite almost $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds and state an expression of the curvature tensor field for the indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-space forms. We analyse the sectional curvature of indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-manifold in which the number of the spacelike characteristic vector fields is equal to that of the timelike characteristic vector fields. Some examples are also described.

Lightlike hypersurfaces in indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-manifolds
In a metric $g.f.f$-manifold we study lightlike hypersurfaces $M$ tangent to the characteristic vector fields, and owing to the presence of the $f$-structure, we determine some decompositions of $TM$ and of a chosen screen distribution obtaining two distributions invariant with respect to the structure. We discuss the existence of a $g.f.f$-structure on a lightlike hypersurface and, under suitable hypotheses, we obtain an indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-structure on the leaves of an integrable distribution. The existence of totally umbilical lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-space form is also discussed. Finally, we explicitely describe a lightlike hypersurface of an indefinite $\mathcal{S}$-manifold.

Mixed 3-Sasakian structures and curvature
In this paper we deal with two classes of mixed metric 3-structures, namely the mixed 3-Sasakian structures and the mixed metric 3-contact structures. Firstly we study some properties of the curvature of mixed 3-Sasakian structures, proving that any manifold endowed with such a structure is Einstein. Then we prove the identity between the class of mixed 3-Sasakian structures and the class of mixed metric 3-contact structures.
