Abstract
The Walczak formula is a very nice tool for understanding the geometry of a Riemannian manifold equipped with two orthogonal complementary distributions. M. Svensson [Holomorphic foliations, harmonic morphisms and the Walczak formula, J. London Math. Soc. (2) 68 (3) (2003) 781-794] has shown that this formula simplifies to a Bochner-type formula when we are dealing with Kähler manifolds and holomorphic (integrable) distributions. We show in this paper that such results have a counterpart in Sasakian geometry. To this end, we build on a theory of (contact) holomorphicity on almost contact metric manifolds. Some other applications for (pseudo-)harmonic morphisms on Sasaki manifolds are outlined.
