Abstract: In the present work we provide a constructive method to describe contact structures on compact homogeneous contact manifolds. The main feature of our approach is to describe the Cartan-Ehresmann connection (gauge field) for principal circle bundles over complex flag manifolds by using elements of representation theory of simple Lie algebras. This description allows us to compute explicitly the expression of the contact form for any Boothby-Wang fibration over complex flag manifolds as well as their induced homogeneous Sasaki-Einstein structures. As an application of our results we use the Cartan-Remmert reduction and the Calabi ansatz technique to provide many explicit examples of crepant resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones with certain homogeneous Sasaki-Einstein manifolds realized as links of isolated hypersurface singularities.
