An immersion theorem for Vaisman manifolds

A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kähler covering , with monodromy acting on by Kähler homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial homotheties on . We prove that any compact Vaisman manifold admits a natural holomorphic immersion to a Hopf manifold (ℂ n ∖0)ℤ. As an application, we obtain that any Sasakian manifold has a contact immersion to an odd-dimensional sphere
