Uniformizations of compact Sasakian manifolds (Q6624306)

The paper is devoted to the ``uniformization problem'' for compact Sasakian manifolds understood as a classification ``up to deformation''. In greater detail, for a Hermitian symmetric space \(D\) of non-compact type, one can define the homogeneous Sasakian structure \((T_D^{1,0},\eta_D)\) on the circle bundle \(S^1(\Lambda^mT_D^{1,0})\) of the determinant line bundle of the holomorphic tangent bundle of \(D\). The authors give criteria of deforming Sasakian structures to this one in terms of the variations of the Hodge structure and in terms of stability of Higgs bundles on ``basic'' vector bundles over the canonical transverse foliation.
