“A Tour of Sasakian Geometry”
Abstract: Sasakian
geometry is often described as an odd-dimensional cousin of
Kahler geometry.
We will take a casual tour through Sasakian geometry
and discuss
how this framework
can be used to produce numerous examples of odd-dimensional
Einstein manifolds, which are manifolds that admit
Riemannian metrics satisfying a
specially chosen
curvature condition.
EVERYONE WELCOME
