We show that the Hodge numbers of Sasakian manifolds are invariant under arbitrary deformations of the Sasakian structure. We also present an upper semi continuity Theorem for the dimensions of kernels of a smooth family of transversely elliptic operators on manifolds with transversely Riemannian foliations. We use this to prove that the $\partial\bar{\partial}$-lemma and being transversely Kähler are rigid properties under small deformations of the transversely holomorphic structure which preserve the foliation. Finally, we study an example which shows that this is not the case for arbitrary deformations of the transversely holomorphic foliation.
We show that the Malcev Lie algebra of the fundamental group of a compact $2n+1$-dimensional Sasakian manifold with $n\ge 2$ admits a quadratic presentation by using Morgan's bigradings of minimal models of mixed-Hodge diagrams. By using bigradings of minimal models, we also simplify the proof of the result of Cappelletti-Montano, De Nicola, Marrero and Yudin on Sasakian nilmanifolds.
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 finite quotients of Heisenberg nilmanifolds.
The basic Dolbeault cohomology groups of a Sasakian manifold M are invariants of its characteristic foliation F (the orbit foliation of the Reeb flow). We show some fundamental properties of this cohomology, which are useful for its computation. In the first part of the article, we show that the basic Hodge numbers, the dimensions of the basic Dolbeault cohomology groups, only depend on the isomorphism class of the underlying CR structure. Equivalently, we show that the basic Hodge numbers are invariant under deformations of type I. This result reduces their computation to the quasi-regular ca…
We show that the kernel of the Rumin Laplacian agrees with that of the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on compact Sasakian manifolds. As a corollary, we obtain another proof of primitiveness of harmonic forms. Moreover, the space of harmonic forms coincides with the sub-Riemann limit of Hodge-de Rham Laplacian when its limit converges. Finally, we express the analytic torsion function associated with the Rumin complex in terms of the Reeb vector field.
In this paper we define coeffective de Rham cohomology for basic forms on a $K$--contact or Sasakian manifold $M$ and we discuss its relation with usually basic cohomology of $M$. When $M$ is of finite type (for instance it is compact) several inequalities relating some basic coeffective numbers to classical basic Betti numbers of $M$ are obtained. In the case of Sasakian manifolds, we define and study coeffective Dolbeault and Bott-Chern cohomologies for basic forms. Also, in this case, we prove some Hodge decomposition theorems for coeffective basic de Rham cohomology, relating this cohomolo…

Let $X_0$ be an affine variety with only normal isolated singularity $p$ and $π: X\to X_0$ a smooth resolution of the singularity with trivial canonical line bundle $K_X$. If the complement of the affine variety $X_0\backslash\{p\}$ is the cone $C(S)=\Bbb R_{>0}\times S$ of an Einstein-Sasakian manifold $S$, we shall prove that the crepant resolution $X$ of $X_0$ admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric in every Kähler class in $H^2(X)$. We apply the continuity method for solving the Monge-Ampère equation to obtain a relevant existence theorem and a uniqueness theorem of Ricci-flat conical K…
We introduce a canonical isomorphism from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a compact complex manifold to the one on its infinitesimal deformations. By use of this map, we generalize an extension formula in a recent work of K. Liu, X. Yang and the second author. As a direct corollary of the extension formulas, we prove several deformation invariance theorems for Hodge numbers on some certain classes of complex manifolds, without use of Frölicher inequality or the topological invariance of Betti numbers.
We study the transverse Kähler holonomy groups on Sasaki manifolds $(M,{\oldmathcal S})$ and their stability properties under transverse holomorphic deformations of the characteristic foliation by the Reeb vector field. In particular, we prove that when the first Betti number $b_1(M)$ and the basic Hodge number $h^{0,2}_B({\oldmathcal S})$ vanish, then ${\oldmathcal S}$ is stable under deformations of the transverse Kähler flow. In addition we show that an irreducible transverse hyperkähler Sasakian structure is ${\oldmathcal S}$-unstable, whereas, an irreducible transverse Calabi-Yau Sasakian…
We classify locally homogeneous quasi-Sasakian manifolds in dimension five that admit a parallel spinor $ψ$ of algebraic type $F \cdot ψ= 0$ with respect to the unique connection $\nabla$ preserving the quasi-Sasakian structure and with totally skew-symmetric torsion. We introduce a certain conformal transformation of almost contact metric manifolds and discuss a link between them and the dilation function in 5-dimensional string theory. We find natural conditions implying conformal invariances of parallel spinors. We present topological obstructions to the existence of parallel spinors in the…
We construct Hodge filtered cohomology groups for complex manifolds that combine the topological information of generalized cohomology theories with geometric data of Hodge filtered holomorphic forms. This theory provides a natural generalization of Deligne cohomology. For smooth complex algebraic varieties, we show that the theory satisfies a projective bundle formula and $\A^1$-homotopy invariance. Moreover, we obtain transfer maps along projective morphisms.
We consider locally conformal Kaehler geometry as an equivariant (homothetic) Kaehler geometry: a locally conformal Kaehler manifold is, up to equivalence, a pair (K,Γ) where K is a Kaehler manifold and Γa discrete Lie group of biholomorphic homotheties acting freely and properly discontinuously. We define a new invariant of a locally conformal Kaehler manifold (K,Γ) as the rank of a natural quotient of Γ, and prove its invariance under reduction. This equivariant point of view leads to a proof that locally conformal Kaehler reduction of compact Vaisman manifolds produces Vaisman manifolds and…
The idea of Lichnerowicz or Morse-Novikov cohomology groups of a manifold has been utilized by many researchers to study important properties and invariants of a manifold. Morse-Novikov cohomology is defined using the differential $d_ω=d+ω\wedge$, where $ω$ is a closed $1$-form. We study Morse-Novikov cohomology relative to a foliation on a manifold and its homotopy invariance and then extend it to more general type of forms on a Riemannian foliation. We study the Laplacian and Hodge decompositions for the corresponding differential operators on reduced leafwise Morse-Novikov complexes. In the…
We prove a blow-up formula for Dolbeault cohomologies of compact complex manifolds by introducing relative Dolbeault cohomology. As corollaries, we present a uniform proof for bimeromorphic invariance of $(\bullet,0)$- and $(0,\bullet)$-Hodge numbers on a compact complex manifold, and obtain the equality for the numbers of the blow-ups and blow-downs in the weak factorization of the bimeromorphic map between two compact complex manifolds with equal $(1,1)$-Hodge number or equivalently second Betti number. Many examples of the latter one are listed. Inspired by these, we obtain the bimeromorphi…
We introduce a natural map from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a complex manifold to the corresponding one on the infinitesimal deformations of this complex manifold. By use of this map, we generalize an extension formula in a recent work of K. Liu, X. Yang and the first author. As direct corollaries, we prove several deformation invariance theorems for Hodge numbers. Moreover, we also study the Gauduchon cone and its relation with the balanced cone in the Kähler case, and show that the limit of the Gauduchon cone in the sense of D. Popovici for a generic fiber in a Kähle…
Let $π: \mathcal{X}\rightarrow Δ$ be a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds over an open disk in $\mathbb{C}$. If the fiber $π^{-1}(t)$ for each nonzero $t$ in an uncountable subset $B$ of $Δ$ is Moishezon and the reference fiber $X_0$ satisfies the local deformation invariance for Hodge number of type $(0,1)$ or admits a strongly Gauduchon metric introduced by D. Popovici, then $X_0$ is still Moishezon. We also obtain a bimeromorphic embedding $\mathcal{X}\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^N\timesΔ$. Our proof can be regarded as a new, algebraic proof of several results in this direction pr…
