Title

Sasaki-Einstein metrics on spheres

Abstract

I will report on a joint work with Yuchen Liu and Taro Sano in which we construct infinitely many families of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on odd-dimensional spheres that bound parallelizable manifolds, proving in this way conjectures of Boyer-Galicki-Kollar and Collins-Szekelyhidi. The construction is based on showing the K-stability of certain Fano weighted orbifold hypersurfaces.
