Smale-Barden manifolds are simply-connected closed 5-manifolds. It is an important and difficult question to decide when a Smale-Barden manifold admits a Sasakian or a K-contact structure. The known constructions of Sasakian and K-contact structures are obtained mainly by two techniques. These are either links (Boyer and Galicki), or semi-regular Seifert fibrations over smooth orbifolds (Kollar). Recently, the second named author of this article started the systematic development of quasi-regular Seifert fibrations, that is, over orbifolds which are not necessarily smooth. The present work is devoted to several applications of this theory. First, we develop constructions of a Smale-Barden manifold admitting a quasi-regular Sasakian structure but not a semi-regular K-contact structure. Second, we determine all Smale-Barden manifolds that admit a null Sasakian structure. Finally, we show a counterexample in the realm of cyclic Kahler orbifolds to the algebro-geometric conjecture that claims that for an algebraic surface with $b_1=0$ and $b_2>1$ there cannot be $b_2$ smooth disjoint complex curves of genus g>0 spanning the (rational) homology.
We give the first example of a simply connected compact 5-manifold (Smale-Barden manifold) which admits a K-contact structure but does not admit any Sasakian structure, settling a long standing question of Boyer and Galicki.
Smale-Barden manifolds $M$ are classified by their second homology $H_2(M,{mathbb Z})$ and the Barden invariant $i(M)$. It is an important and dificult question to decide when $M$ admits a Sasakian structure in terms of these data. In this work we sh
We study several questions on the existence of negative Sasakian structures on simply connected rational homology spheres and on Smale-Barden manifolds of the form $#_k(S^2times S^3)$. First, we prove that any simply connected rational homology spher
We develop the Gompf fiber connected sum operation for symplectic orbifolds. We use it to construct a symplectic 4-orbifold with $b_1=0$ and containing symplectic surfaces of genus 1 and 2 that are disjoint and span the rational homology. This is use
We construct the first example of a 5-dimensional simply connected compact manifold that admits a K-contact structure but does not admit a semi-regular Sasakian structure. For this, we need two ingredients: (a) to construct a suitable simply connecte
