Embeddings of compact Sasakian manifolds (Q2470963)

Let \(M\) be a compact Sasakian manifold. The authors show that \(M\) admits a \(CR\)-embedding into a Sasakian manifold diffeomorphic to a sphere, and that this embedding is compatible with the respective Reeb fields. They argue that a stronger embedding theorem cannot be obtained. By using an extension theorem for Kähler geometryy they prove: Given a compact Kähler manifold \(X\subset Y\) and a Kähler form \(\omega _X\) on \(X\) which lies in a Kähler class \([\omega]\) of \(Y\) restricted to \(X\), \(\omega_X\) can be extended to a Kähler form \(\omega_Y\) on \(Y\).
