We study the Sasaki cone of a CR structure of Sasaki type on a given closed manifold. We introduce an energy functional over the cone, and use its critical points to single out the strongly extremal Reeb vectors fields. Should one such…

Yau's uniformization conjecture states: a complete noncompact K\"ahler manifold with positive holomorphic bisectional curvature is biholomorphic to $\ce^n$. The K\"ahler-Ricci flow has provided a powerful tool in understanding the…

We define a class of metrics that extend the Sasaki metric of a tangent manifold of a Riemannian manifold. The new metrics are obtained by the transfer of the generalized (pseudo-)Riemannian metrics of the pullback of the big tangent bundle…

In this paper, we study the geometry and topology of complete gradient shrinking Sasaki-Ricci solitons. We first prove that they must be connected at infinity. This is a Sasaki analogue of gradient shrinking K\"ahler-Ricci solitons.…

We propose a new approach to the existence of constant transversal scalar curvature Sasaki structures drawing on ideas and tools from the CR Yamabe problem, establishing a link between the CR Yamabe invariant, the existence of Sasaki…

We extend to the Sasakian setting a result of Tian and Zhu about the decomposition of the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields on a K\"ahler manifold in the presence of a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton. Furthermore we apply known deformations…

In this paper we investigate the possibility to obtain locally new Sasaki-Einstein metrics on the space $T^{1,1}$ considering a deformation of the standard metric tensor field. We show that from the geometric point of view this deformation…

In this work, we revisit quasi-Sasakian geometry in dimension three and examine how these structures interact with the foliation generated by the Reeb vector field and its basic cohomology. Through a deformation-based approach, we show that…

We show that a polarized affine variety admits a Ricci flat K\"ahler cone metric, if and only if it is K-stable. This generalizes Chen-Donaldson-Sun's solution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture to K\"ahler cones, or equivalently,…

We calculate the homology groups of certain 2-connected 7-manifolds admitting quasi-regular Sasaki-Einstein metrics. These manifolds are links that arise as Thom-Sebastiani sums of chain type singularities and cycle type singularities.…

Motivated by a conjecture in [9] we prove that the K\"ahler cone over a regular complete Sasakian manifold is Ricci-flat and projectively induced if and only if it is flat. We also obtain that, up to $\mathcal D_a$-homothetic…
