The Local Moduli of Sasakian 3-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
The Newman-Penrose-Perjes formalism is applied to Sasakian 3-manifolds and the local form of the metric and contact structure is presented. The local moduli space can be parameterised by a single function of two variables and it is shown that, given any smooth function of two variables, there exists locally a Sasakian structure with scalar curvature equal to this function. The case where the scalar curvature is constant (η-Einstein Sasakian metrics) is completely solved locally. The resulting Sasakian manifolds include S3, Nil, and S̃L2(R), as well as the Berger spheres. It is also shown that a conformally flat Sasakian 3-manifold is Einstein of positive scalar curvature.

On $(epsilon)$ - Lorentzian para-Sasakian Manifolds
The object of this paper is to study $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. Some typical identities for the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold are investigated. Further, we study globally $phi$-Ricci symmetric and weakly $phi$-Ricci symmetric $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and obtain interesting results.
متن کاملContact Spheres and Hyperk¨ahler Geometry
A taut contact sphere on a 3-manifold is a linear 2-sphere of contact forms, all defining the same volume form. In the present paper we completely determine the moduli of taut contact spheres on compact left-quotients of SU(2) (the only closed manifolds admitting such structures). We also show that the moduli space of taut contact spheres embeds into the moduli space of taut contact circles. Th...
متن کاملNon existence of totally contact umbilical slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds
We prove that there do not exist totally contact umbilical proper slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds other than totally contact geodesic proper slant lightlike submanifolds. We also prove that there do not exist totally contact umbilical proper slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian space forms.

Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature have been a frequent topic of global Riemannian geometry for over 40 years. Nevertheless, there are relatively few known examples of such manifolds. The purpose of this article is to study the topological properties of some of these examples, the so-called Eschenburg spaces, in detail. In addition to positively curved metrics, some Eschenbu...
متن کاملBetti Numbers of 3-sasakian Quotients of Spheres by Tori
We give a formula for the Betti numbers of 3-Sasakian manifolds or orbifolds which can be obtained as 3-Sasakian quotients of a sphere by a torus. This answers a question of Galicki and Salamon about the topology of 3-Sasakian manifolds. A (4m+3)-dimensional manifold is 3-Sasakian if it possesses a Riemannian metric with three orthonormal Killing elds deening a local SU(2)-action and satisfying...
