Transversely Kähler almost contact metric Lie algebras
We study transversely Kähler almost contact metric Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{g},φ,ξ,η,g)$ such that the structure $1$-form $η$ is a contact form. They include both quasi Sasakian and anti-quasi-Sasakian Lie algebras of maximal rank. In the case where the center of the Lie algebra is nontrivial, they are $1$-dimensional central extensions of Kähler Lie algebras via a symplectic form. We investigate the $5$-dimensional case, obtaining a classification of $η$-Einstein transversely Kähler almost contact metric Lie algebras of maximal rank. If the center is trivial, the structure is always $α$-Sasakian. If the center is nontrivial and the Kähler quotient $\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{z(g)}$ is not abelian, the structure is quasi Sasakian; it is $α$-Sasakian on central extensions of Kähler-Einstein $4$-dimensional Lie algebras, and not conversely. Up to isomorphisms, the Heisenberg Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_5$ is the only $5$-dimensional Lie algebra admitting $η$-Einstein transversely Kähler structures which are not quasi Sasakian, including anti-quasi-Sasakian structures. In fact, we show that any $5$-dimensional anti-quasi-Sasakian Lie algebra is isomorphic to $\mathfrak{h}_5$.
