Eta-Einstein and $(κ,μ)$-structures studied in dimension 3.

We study eta-Einstein geometry as a class of distinguished Riemannian metrics on contact metric manifolds. In particular, we use a previous solution of the Calabi problem for Sasakian geometry to prove the existence of eta-Einstein structures on many different compact manifolds, including exotic spheres. We also relate…

In this note, we find the conditions on an odd-dimensional Riemannian manifolds under which its twistor space is eta-Einstein.

The paper extends metrics and solitons on toric Fano manifolds with irregular Sasaki-Einstein metrics.

We extend a result of Patodi for closed Riemannian manifolds to the context of closed contact manifolds by showing the condition that a manifold is an $η$-Einstein Sasakian manifold is spectrally determined. We also prove that the condition that a Sasakian space form has constant $φ$-sectional curvature $c$ is spectral…

We study null Sasakian structures in dimension five. First, based on a result due to Kollár [Ko], we improve a result by Boyer, Galicki and Matzeu in [BGM] and prove that simply connected manifolds diffeomorphic to $# k(S^2\times S^3)$ admit null Sasaki $η$-Einstein structures if and only if $k\in \{3,..., 21\}$. After…

Negative Sasakian manifolds, where the first Chern class of the contact subbundle is a torsion class, can be viewed as Seifert-$S^1$ bundles where the base orbifold has an ample orbifold canonical class. We use this framework to settle completely an open problem formulated by C.Boyer and K.Galicki which asks whether or…
