The Newman-Penrose-Perjes formalism is applied to Sasakian 3-manifolds and the local form of the metric and contact structure is presented. The local moduli space can be parameterised by a single function of two variables and it is shown…

A manifold is locally \emph{$k$-fold symmetric}, if for any point and any $k$-dimensional vector subspace tangent to this point there exists a local isometry such that this point is a fixed point and the differential of the isometry…

We give a correspondence between toric 3-Sasaki 7-manifolds S and certain toric Sasaki-Einstein 5-manifolds M. These 5-manifolds are all diffeomorphic to k#(S^2\times S^3), where k=2b_2(S)+1, and are given by a pencil of Sasaki embeddings…

The space of K\"ahler potentials in a compact K\"ahler manifold, endowed with Mabuchi's metric, is an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold. We characterize local isometries between spaces of K\"ahler potentials, and prove existence and…

In this paper, we obtain new non-singular Einstein-Sasaki spaces in dimensions D\ge 7. The local construction involves taking a circle bundle over a (D-1)-dimensional Einstein-Kahler metric that is itself constructed as a complex line…

For a given minimal Legendrian submanifold $L$ of a Sasaki-Einstein manifold we construct two families of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of $L$ and we give a lower bound for the dimension of the corresponding eigenspace. Moreover, in the…

It is known that automorphism group $G$ of a compact homogeneous locally conformally K\"ahler manifold $M=G/H$ has at least a 1-dimensional center. We prove that the center of $G$ is at most 2-dimensional, and that if its dimension is 2,…

We show that by taking a certain scaling limit of a Euclideanised form of the Plebanski-Demianski metrics one obtains a family of local toric Kahler-Einstein metrics. These can be used to construct local Sasaki-Einstein metrics in five…

We classify simply connected compact Sasaki manifolds of dimension $2n+1$ with positive transverse bisectional curvature. In particular, the K\"ahler cone corresponding to such manifolds must be bi-holomorphic to $\C^{n+1}\backslash \{0\}$.…

We propose an approach to the existence problem for locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on compact complex manifolds by introducing and studying a functional that is different according to whether the complex dimension of the manifold is…

We discuss Sasakian-Einstein geometry under a quasi-regularity assumption. It is shown that the space of all quasi-regular Sasakian-Einstein orbifolds has a natural multiplication on it. Furthermore, necessary and sufficient conditions are…

We show that for every positive curvature Kahler-Einstein manifold in dimension 2n there is a countably infinite class of associated Sasaki-Einstein manifolds X_{2n+3} in dimension 2n+3. When n=1 we recover a recently discovered family of…

In this paper, we show that a generalized Sasakian space form of dimension greater than three is either of constant sectional curvature; or a canal hypersurface in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces; or locally a certain type of twisted product…

We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kaehler geometry: a locally conformal Kaehler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair (K,\Gamma) where K is a Kaehler manifold and \Gamma a discrete Lie group of…

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…

Using $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology, in particular its mean Euler characteristic, of the natural filling of links of Brieskorn-Pham polynomials, we prove the existence of infinitely many inequivalent contact structures on various…

We show that every K-contact Einstein manifold is Sasakian-Einstein and discuss several corollaries of this result.

The aim of this paper is to construct left-invariant Einstein pseudo-Riemannian Sasaki metrics on solvable Lie groups. We consider the class of $\mathfrak z$-standard Sasaki solvable Lie algebras of dimension $2n+3$, which are in one-to-one…

Recent renewed interest in Sasakian manifolds is due mainly to the fact that they can provide examples of generalized Einstein manifolds, manifolds which are of great interest in mathematical models of various aspects of physical phenomena.…

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…
