New constructions of Sasakian and K-contact structures on Smale-Barden manifolds.

method Developing quasi-regular Seifert fibrations and applying them to constructions.
result Determined all Smale-Barden manifolds admitting null Sasakian structures and provided counterexamples to conjectures.

Clarifies construction of K-contact non-Sasakian Smale-Barden manifolds.

problem Determining which Smale-Barden manifolds admit K-contact but not Sasakian structures.
method Explicitly determines the number of symplectic surfaces needed for isotropy loci, refines constructions of symplectic surfaces.
result Determines the number N of symplectic surfaces needed for K-contact but non-Sasakian manifolds.

This work classifies Smale-Barden manifolds with Sasakian structures.

problem Deciding when Smale-Barden manifolds admit Sasakian structures.
method Classifying manifolds by their homology and Barden invariant, and providing methods to realize specific cases.
result Realized all manifolds with specified homology and Barden invariant, contributing to the existence of Sasakian structures on rational homology spheres.

Developed Gompf connected sum for orbifolds, constructing symplectic and K-contact manifolds.

problem Constructing symplectic and K-contact manifolds with specific properties.

method Revision and generalization of existing constructions.
result Produces the ramification locus of Seifert bundles over symplectic 4-orbifolds.

Kollár has found subtle obstructions to the existence of Sasakian structures on 5-dimensional manifolds. In the present article we develop methods of using these obstructions to distinguish K-contact manifolds from Sasakian ones. In particular, we find the first example of a closed 5-manifold M with H1(M,Z)=0H_1(M,Z)=0 which …
