Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the Sasakian geometry on odd dimensional sphere bundles over a smooth projective algebraic variety with the ultimate, but probably unachievable goal of understanding the existence and non-existence of extremal and constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics. We apply the fiber join construction of Yamazaki \cite{Yam99} for K-contact manifolds to the Sasaki case. This construction depends on the choice of integral K\"ahler classes on that are not necessarily colinear in the K\"ahler cone. We show that the colinear case is equivalent to a subclass of a different join construction orginally described in \cite{BG00a,BGO06}, applied to the spherical case by the authors in \cite{BoTo13,BoTo14a} when , and known as cone decomposable \cite{BHLT16}. The non-colinear case gives rise to infinite families of new inequivalent cone…
