Sasaki–Einstein Geometry, GK Geometry, and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Abstract
We review various aspects of Sasaki-Einstein and GK geometry, emphasising their similarities, interconnections and significance for the \index{Anti de Sitter} AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we highlight the key role that physical considerations have played in formulating geometric extremization principles, which have been instrumental in both understanding the geometry and identifying the corresponding dual field theories.
