Sasakian Metrics with an Additional Contact Structure

Abstract

The question of whether a Sasakian metric can admit an additional compatible ($K$)contact structure is addressed. In the complete case if the second structure is also assumed Sasakian, works of Tachibana-Yu and Tanno show that the manifold must be 3-Sasakian or an odd dimensional sphere with constant curvature. Some extensions of this result are obtained, mainly in dimensions 3 and 5.
