First we give the Sasaki version of the de Rham Decomposition Theorem; however, we need a mild technical assumption on the Sasaki automorphism group which includes the toric case. Next we introduce the concept of {\\it cone reducible} and consider $S^3$ bundles over a smooth projective algebraic variety where we give a classification result concerning contact structures admitting the action of a 2-torus of Reeb type. In particular, we can classify all such Sasakian structures up to contact isotopy on $S^3$ bundles over a Riemann surface of genus greater than zero. Finally, we show that in the toric case an extremal Sasaki metric on a Sasaki join always splits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-15T16:57:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C25" ], "keywords": [ "sasakian geometry", "concerning contact structures admitting", "classification result concerning contact structures", "toric case", "smooth projective algebraic variety" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 58, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
