Title of the course: Sasakian Geometry and Lie groups
Instructor: Assoc. Prof. Hisashi Kasuya
Institution: Osaka University
Dates: 11-17 September 2023
Level: Graduate, advanced undergraduate
Abstract: Sasakian geometry is an odd-dimensional counterpart of Kähler geometry.
The main purpose of the lectures is to compare Sasakian geometry with
Kähler geometry
Observing Sasakian structures on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces.
In particular, we study the classification three-dimensional
Sasakian manifolds
Proved by Belgun and related topics.
