    Created Sasakian manifold. This seems vaguely related to conifold/G 2G_2-manifold stuff, but the state of the art in the Sasakian world seems very much experimental: difficult to find any large families of such structures.

    Thanks!

    I have added some more hyperlinks, and formatting.

    I added a reference that discusses 3-Sasakian 7-manifolds and how they carry interesting G 2G_2-structures.

    Note that the example given in Wikipedia of a conifold is exactly the Riemannian cone over the Sasakian manifold S 3×S 2S^3\times S^2.

    The introduction to

    • Charles Boyer, Krzysztof Galicki, Sasakian Geometry, Oxford Mathematical Monographs, Oxford University Press, 2007

    is a good read: mathematical insight, personal tragedy, arguments for a major blind spot of the community, all nicely laid out on the first few pages.
