Abstract

We prove the formality and the evenness of odd-degree Betti numbers for compact K\"ahler orbifolds, by adapting the classical proofs for K\"ahler manifolds. As a consequence, we obtain examples of symplectic orbifolds not admitting any K\"ahler orbifold structure. We also review the known examples of non-formal simply connected Sasakian manifolds, and produce an example of a non-formal quasi-regular Sasakian manifold with Betti numbers b1=0b_1=0 and b2>1b_2\,> 1.
