We investigate holographic spectral functions for general Sasaki-Einstein 5-manifolds dual to four-dimensional superconformal field theories, including supersymmetric indices, supersymmetric zeta functions, and supersymmetric determinants.…
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 study $\eta$-Einstein Sasakian structures on Lie algebras, that is, Sasakian structures whose associated Ricci tensor satisfies an Einstein-like condition. We divide into the cases in which the Lie algebra's centre is non-trivial (and…
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…
Twist tori are examples of exotic monotone lagrangian tori, presented in [1]. This tree of examples grew up over the first one --- the torus $\Theta \in \R^4$, constructured in [2] and [3]. On the other hand, in [4] and [5] we proposed a…
We develop a method to build new 5D $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge models based on Sasaki-Einstein manifolds $Y^{p,q}.$ These models extend the standard 5D ones having a unitary SU$\left( p\right) _{q}$ gauge symmetry based on $% Y^{p,q}$.…
This is a sequel to our paper arXiv:1402.2546 to appear in the Journal of Geometric Analysis in which we concentrate on developing some of the topological properties of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. In particular, we explicitly compute the…
Smale-Barden manifolds are simply-connected closed 5-manifolds. It is an important and difficult question to decide when a Smale-Barden manifold admits a Sasakian or a K-contact structure. The known constructions of Sasakian and K-contact…
Recent work Bobienski-Nurowski on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion…
In this expository article we discuss the relations between Sasakian geometry, reduced holonomy and supersymmetry. It is well known that the Riemannian manifolds other than the round spheres that admit real Killing spinors are precisely…
A Sasakian structure on a manifold is called {\it positive} if its basic first Chern class can be represented by a positive (1,1)-form with respect to its transverse holomorphic CR-structure. We prove a theorem that says that every positive…
In this note, stimulated by the existence result of Futaki-Ono-Wang for toric Sasaki-Einstein metrics, we obtain new examples of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on S^1-bundles associated to canonical line bundles of P^1-bundles over…
In this paper we study compact Sasaki manifolds in view of transverse K\"ahler geometry and extend some results in K\"ahler geometry to Sasaki manifolds. In particular we define integral invariants which obstruct the existence of transverse…
We study the geometry and topology of two infinite families Y^{p,k} of Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifolds, that are expected to be AdS_4/CFT_3 dual to families of N=2 superconformal field theories in three dimensions. These manifolds, labelled…
This article is a summary of some of the author's work on Sasaki-Einstein geometry. A rather general conjecture in string theory known as the AdS/CFT correspondence relates Sasaki-Einstein geometry, in low dimensions, to superconformal…
In this paper we study the interplay between complex coordinates on the Calabi-Yau metric cone and the special Killing forms on the toric Sasaki-Einstein manifold. In the general case we give a procedure to locally construct the special…
We consider hypersurfaces in Einstein-Sasaki 5-manifolds which are tangent to the characteristic vector field. We introduce evolution equations that can be used to reconstruct the 5-dimensional metric from such a hypersurface, analogous to…
Ricci-like solitons with potential Reeb vector field are introduced and studied on almost contact B-metric manifolds. The cases of Sasaki-like manifolds and torse-forming potentials have been considered. In these cases, it is proved that…
The twist construction is a method to build new interesting examples of geometric structures with torus symmetry from well-known ones. In fact it can be used to construct arbitrary nilmanifolds from tori. In our previous paper, we presented…
This article is an overview of some of the remarkable progress that has been made in Sasaki-Einstein geometry over the last decade, which includes a number of new methods of constructing Sasaki-Einstein manifolds and obstructions.
