An immersion theorem for Vaisman manifolds (Q1777253)

Let \((M,I,g)\) be a connected Hermitian manifold of complex dimension \(m\geq 2\) with fundamental two-form defined by \(\omega (X,Y)=g(X,IY)\). Then \((M,I,g)\) is called locally conformally Kähler (LCK), if there exists a global closed one form \(\theta\) satisfying \(d\omega =\theta \wedge \omega\). This one form \(\theta\) is called the Lee form. An LCK manifold \((M,I,g)\) with parallel Lee form is called a Vaisman manifold. The main theorem of the paper under review states that any compact Vaisman manifold admits a natural holomorphic immersion into a Hopf manifold \((\mathbb{C}^n\setminus 0)/\mathbb{Z}\). As an interesting corollary the authors also obtain that any Sasakian manifold admits a contact immersion into an odd-dimensional sphere.
