Transverse Fully Nonlinear Equations on Sasakian Manifolds and Applications

Abstract

We prove a priori estimates for a class of transverse fully nonlinear equations on Sasakian manifolds and give some geometric applications such as the transversion Calabi-Yau theorem for transverse balanced and (strongly) Gauduchon metrics. We also explain that similar results hold on compact oriented, taut, transverse Hermitian foliated manifold of complex co-dimension $n$, and give some geometric applications such as the transverse Calabi-Yau theorems for transverse Hermitian and (strongly) Gauduchon metrics.
