Sasaki-Ricci flow

Sasakian geometry is an odd-dimensional counterpart of Kaehler geometry. In this talk I will first introduce the Sasaki- Ricci flow, which is designed to deform Sasaki metrics to an eta-Einstein metric  on a Sasaki manifold. Then I will talk about its applications in Sasakian  geometry.
