Study immersions of Sasakian manifolds into Sasakian space forms.

Study of Sasakian immersions in Heisenberg group and $\mathbb{B}^N imes \mathbb{R}$, focusing on $η$-Einstein case.

The aim of this paper is to study Sasakian immersions of compact Sasakian manifolds into the odd-dimensional sphere equipped with the standard Sasakian structure. We obtain a complete classification of such manifolds in the Einstein and $η$-Einstein cases when the codimension of the immersion is $4$. Moreover, we exhib…

We obtain a basic inequality involving the Laplacian of the warping function and the squared mean curvature of any warped product isometrically immersed in a Riemannian manifold without assuming any restriction on the Riemann curvature tensor of the ambient manifold. Applying this general theory, we obtain basic inequa…

A locally conformally Kaehler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kaehler covering M, with monodromy acting on M by Kaehler homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial homotheties on M. We prove a non-Kaehler analogue of Kodaira embedding theorem: an…

The study finds a continuous map achieving minmax area under Legendrian constraints.

For constant mean curvature surfaces of class $C^2$ immersed inside Sasakian sub-Riemannian 3-manifolds we obtain a formula for the second derivative of the area which involves horizontal analytical terms, the Webster scalar curvature of the ambient manifold, and the extrinsic shape of the surface. Then we prove classi…

Spinorially constructs Sasakian and 3-Sasakian structures in arbitrary dimensions.

The object of this paper is to study the invariant submanifolds of Sasakian generalized-Sasakian-space-form. Here, we obtain some equivalent conditions for an invariant submanifold of a Sasakian generalized-Sasakian-space-forms to be totally geodesic.

We show that the contact reduction can be specialized to Sasakian manifolds. We link this Sasakian reduction to Kähler reduction by considering the Kähler cone over a Sasakian manifold. We present examples of Sasakian manifolds obtained by $S^1$ reduction of standard Sasakian spheres.

The purpose of this paper is to study *-Ricci tensor on Sasakian manifold. Here, φ-confomally flat and confomally flat *-η-Einstein Sasakian manifold are studied. Next, we consider *-Ricci symmetric conditon on Sasakian manifold. Finally, we study a special type of metric called *-Ricci soliton on Sasakian manifold.

The study examines extensions of Lie algebras with specific geometric structures.

We find some curvature properties of 3-quasi-Sasakian manifolds which are similar to some well-known identities holding in the Sasakian case. As an application, we prove that any 3-quasi-Sasakian manifold of constant horizontal sectional curvature is necessarily either 3-α-Sasakian or 3-cosymplectic.

The paper characterizes Sasakian manifolds using weak nearly Sasakian structures.

We show certain symmetry of the dimensions of cohomologies of the funda- mental groups of compact Sasakian manifolds by using the Hodge theory of twisted basic cohomology. As applications, we show that the polycyclic fundamental groups of compact Sasakian manifolds are virtually nilpotent and Sasakian solvmanifolds are…

Nilpotent Sasakian manifolds are Heisenberg nilmanifolds.

Paper confirms Hamilton-Tian conjecture for specific Sasakian manifolds.

The orthogonal decomposition of the Webster curvature provides us a way to characterize some canonical metrics on a pseudo-Hermitian manifold. We derive some subelliptic differential inequalities from the Weitzenböck formulas for the traceless pseudo-Hermitian Ricci tensor and the Chern-Moser tensor of Sasakian manifol…

3-quasi-Sasakian manifolds were studied systematically by the authors in a recent paper as a suitable setting unifying 3-Sasakian and 3-cosymplectic geometries. This paper throws new light on their geometric structure which reveals to be generally richer compared to the 3-Sasakian subclass. In fact, it turns out that t…

Study properties of 3D trans-Sasakian manifolds with η-Yamabe solitons.

In this paper we provide a second variation formula for L-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in a pseudo-Sasakian manifold. We apply it to the case of Lorentzian-Sasakian manifolds and relate the L-stability of L-minimal Legendrians in a Sasakian M to their L-stability in an associated Lorentzian-Sasakian structure on M.

Researchers provide explicit parametrizations for Sasakian space forms.

In this paper we study the 3-dimensional $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds. We obtain an necessary and sufficient condition for an $(\varepsilon )$-para Sasakian 3 -manifold to be an indefinite space form. We show that a Ricci-semi-symmetric $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian 3 -manifold is an indefinite space form…

Study shows compact Sasakian manifolds are locally Heisenberg up to deformation.

We describe various constructions in Sasakian geometry. First we generalize the join construction of the first two authors to arbitrary Sasakian manifolds. We then give several examples, including ones which prove the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on manifolds homeomorphic to $S^2\times S^5.$ Then we use a gen…

Study on 3D trans-Sasakian manifolds with η-Einstein solitons.

We prove that every nearly Sasakian manifold of dimension greater than five is Sasakian. This provides a new criterion for an almost contact metric manifold to be Sasakian. Moreover, we classify nearly cosymplectic manifolds of dimension greater than five.

Study Higgs bundles and flat connections on quasi-regular Sasakian manifolds.

We consider some natural infinitesimal Einstein deformations on Sasakian and 3-Sasakian manifolds. Some of these are infinitesimal deformations of Killing spinors and further some integrate to actual Killing spinor deformations. In particular, on 3-Sasakian 7 manifolds these yield infinitesimal Einstein deformations pr…

Study on LP-Sasakian manifolds with generalized η-Ricci solitons.

We investigate some topological properties, in particular formality, of compact Sasakian manifolds. Answering some questions raised by Boyer and Galicki, we prove that all higher (than three) Massey products on any compact Sasakian manifold vanish. Hence, higher Massey products do obstruct Sasakian structures. Using th…

Study $η$-Einstein Sasakian structures on Lie algebras, dividing cases based on center dimension.

In this paper we study Willmore Legendrian surfaces (that is Legendrian surfaces which are critical points of the Willmore functional). We use an equality proved in \cite{Luo} to get a relation between Willmore Legendrian surfaces and contact stationary Legendrian surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^5$, and then we use this relati…

We complete the reduction of Sasakian manifolds with the non-zero case by showing that Willett's contact reduced space is compatible with the Sasakian structure. We then prove the compatibility of the non-zero Sasakian (in particular, contact) reduction with the reduction of the Kähler (in particular, symplectic) cone.…
