Title: Kaehler reduction of product of spheres.

Contact person: Charles Boyer

Abstract:
I will explain a correspondence between labelled convex quadrilaterals and
T^4-invariant connections 1-form on S^3xS^3 having positive definite
differential on the standard CR structure of S^3xS^3. In rational case,
each of these structures define a natural Kaehler metric on the toric
orbifold associated to the labelled quadriateral we started with. Every
compact toric 4-orbifold with second Betti number 2 is concerned. This
construction generalizes the work of Webster and Bryant on product of
spheres and can be seen as an example of generalized Sasaki construction.
If I have the time I will speak about the generalisation of this on product
of odd-dimensional spheres. This is a joint work with V. Apostolov,
D.Calderbank and P. Gauduchon.
