This Volume Offers An Extensive Modern Treatment Of Sasakian Geometry, Which Is Of Importance In Many Different Fields In Geometry And Physics.
This volume investigates the mathematical properties and physical applications of Sasakian geometry, a specialized branch of contact geometry. Authors Charles P. Boyer and Krzysztof Galicki provide a rigorous, modern framework for understanding Sasakian manifolds, drawing upon their extensive research in differential geometry and theoretical physics. The text synthesizes complex geometric structures to explain their relevance in string theory and supergravity.
