# Nearly Sasakian manifolds revisited

## TL;DR

This paper offers a new, more conceptual proof that in dimensions greater than five, nearly Sasakian manifolds are equivalent to Sasakian manifolds, simplifying previous understanding.

## Contribution

It presents a self-contained, conceptual proof of the equivalence between nearly Sasakian and Sasakian manifolds in higher dimensions.

## Key findings

- Established the equivalence in dimensions >5
- Provided a new proof approach
- Simplified understanding of nearly Sasakian manifolds

## Abstract

We provide a new, self-contained and more conceptual proof of the result that an almost contact metric manifold of dimension greater than 5 is Sasakian if and only if it is nearly Sasakian.
