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 describe a general procedure for constructing new Sasaki metrics of constant scalar curvature from old ones. Explicitly, we begin with a regular Sasaki metric of constant scalar curvature on a 2n+1-dimensional compact manifold M and…
The main purpose of this work is to generalize the $S^3_\bfw$ Sasaki join construction $M\star_\bfl S^3_\bfw$ described in \cite{BoTo14a} when the Sasakian structure on $M$ is regular, to the general case where the Sasakian structure is…
We discuss the existence and non-existence of constant scalar curvature, as well as extremal, Sasaki metrics. We prove that the natural Sasaki-Boothby-Wang manifold over the admissible projective bundles over local products of non-negative…
We show that the standard picture regarding the notion of stability of constant scalar curvature metrics in K\"ahler geometry described by S.K. Donaldson, which involves the geometry of infinite-dimensional groups and spaces, can be applied…
We establish an equivalence between conformally Einstein--Maxwell Kahler 4-manifolds (recently studied in many works) and extremal Kahler 4-manifolds (in the sense of Calabi) with nowhere vanishing scalar curvature. The corresponding pairs…
We prove that for any smooth polarized complex $n$-dimensional manifold $(X, L_X)$ which admits an extremal K\"ahler metric in $c_1(L_X)$, and for any integer $k$ large enough (in terms of a bound depending on $(X, L_X)$), the…
By combining the join construction from Sasakian geometry with the Hamiltonian 2-form construction from K\"ahler geometry, we recover Sasaki-Einstein metrics discovered by physicists. Our geometrical approach allows us to give an algorithm…
The purpose of this paper is to study the Sasakian geometry on odd dimensional sphere bundles over a smooth projective algebraic variety $N$ with the ultimate, but probably unachievable goal of understanding the existence and non-existence…
In this expository article we review the problem of finding Einstein metrics on compact K\"ahler manifolds and Sasaki manifolds. In the former half of this article we see that, in the K\"ahler case, the problem fits better with the notion…
We study (transverse) scalar curvature type equation on compact Sasaki manifolds, in view of recent breakthrough of Chen-Cheng \cite{CC1, CC2, CC3} on existence of K\"ahler metrics with constant scalar curvature (csck) on compact K\"ahler…
The main purpose of this work is to explore the existence of constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics in the Sasaki cone of the join of two regular Sasaki manifolds, $M_1$ and $M_2$. Furthermore, we consider some cases of continuous…
Using spin$^c$ structure we prove that K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with nonpositive scalar curvature are stable (in the direction of changes in conformal structures) as the critical points of the total scalar curvature functional. Moreover if…
We consider an extension of the results of S. Bando, R. Kobyashi, G. Tian, and S. T. Yau on the existence of Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on quasi-projective varieties Y=X\D with \alpha[D]=c_1(X), \alpha >1. The requirement that D admit a…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $S$ a subvariety of $X$ with higher co-dimension. The aim is to study complete constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics on non-compact K\"ahler manifold $X-S$ with Poincar\'e--Mok--Yau asymptotic…
The question of whether a Sasakian metric can admit an additional compatible (K-)contact structure is addressed. In the complete case if the second structure is also assumed Sasakian, works of Tachibana-Yu and Tanno show that the manifold…
We show that the standard definitions of Sasaki structures have elegant and simplifying interpretations in terms of projective differential geometry. For Sasaki-Einstein structures we use projective geometry to provide a resolution of such…
In a previous paper [BTF21] the authors employed the fiber join construction of Yamazaki [Yam99] together with the admissible construction of Apostolov, Calderbank, Gauduchon, and T{\o}nnesen-Friedman [ACGTF08a] to construct new extremal…
We use the correspondence between extremal Sasaki structures and weighted extremal Kahler metrics defined on a regular quotient of a Sasaki manifold, established by the first two authors, and Lahdili's theory of weighted K-stability in…
In this note I study the Sasakian geometry associated to the standard CR structure on the Heisenberg group, and prove that the Sasaki cone coincides with the set of extremal Sasakian structures. Moreover, the scalar curvature of these…
