Sasaki-Einstein and paraSasaki-Einstein metrics from (\kappa,\mu)-structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We prove that any non-Sasakian contact metric (\kappa,\mu)-space admits a canonical \eta-Einstein Sasakian or \eta-Einstein paraSasakian metric. An explicit expression for the curvature tensor fields of those metrics is given and we find the values of ...

Generalized Goldberg Formula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we prove a useful formula for the graded commutator of the Hodge codifferential with the left wedge multiplication by a fixed $p$-form acting on the de Rham algebra of a Riemannian manifold.

Contact Calabi-Yau manifolds and Special Legendrian submanifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider a generalization of Calabi-Yau structures in the context of $\alpha$-Sasakian manifolds. We study deformations of a special class of Legendrian submanifolds and classify invariant contact Calabi-Yau structures on 5-dimensional nilmanifolds ...

Sub-Laplacian comparison theorems on totally geodesic Riemannian foliations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We develop a variational theory of geodesics for the canonical variation of the metric of a totally geodesic foliation. As a consequence, we obtain comparison theorems for the horizontal and vertical Laplacians.

Sub-Riemannian Ricci curvatures and universal diameter bounds for 3-Sasakian manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
For a fat sub-Riemannian structure, we introduce three canonical Ricci curvatures in the sense of Agrachev-Zelenko-Li. Under appropriate bounds we prove comparison theorems for conjugate lengths, Bonnet-Myers type results and Laplacian comparison ...

The GJMS operators in geometry, analysis and physics

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The GJMS operators, introduced by Graham, Jenne, Mason and Sparling, are a family of conformally invariant linear differential operators with leading term a power of the Laplacian. These operators and their method of construction have had a major impact in geometry, analysis and physics.

Curvature and Solitonic Structures of Para‐Sasakian Manifolds With Schouten–van Kampen Connection on the Tangent Bundle

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper investigates the complete lift of para‐Sasakian structures to the tangent bundle equipped with the Schouten–van Kampen connection (SVKC). By analyzing curvature tensors and soliton equations, we establish the existence of Ricci, Yamabe, and η‐Ricci solitons in the lifted setting.

Novel Theorems on Spacetime Admitting Pseudo‐W2 Curvature Tensor

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper investigates spacetime manifolds admitting a pseudo‐W2 curvature tensor. We show that a pseudo‐W2 flat spacetime is an Einstein manifold and therefore has constant curvature. Moreover, when the manifold satisfies the Einstein field equations (EFE), with a cosmological constant, the associated energy–momentum tensor is covariantly constant ...

Sasakian Geometry, Hypersurface Singularities, and Einstein Metrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We review our study of Sasakian geometry as an agent for proving the existence of Einstein metrics on odd dimensional manifolds. Particular emphasis is given to the Sasakian structures occuring on links of isolated hypersurface singularities.Comment ...

The $Spin(7)$-structures on complex line bundles and explicit Riemannian metrics with SU(4)-holonomy

open access: yes, 2010
We completely explore the system of ODE's which is equivalent to the existence of a parallel $Spin(7)$-structure on the cone over a 7-dimensional 3-Sasakian manifold. The one-dimensional family of solutions of this system is constructed. The solutions of
