Cohomologies of Sasakian groups and Sasakian solvmanifolds

We show certain symmetry of the dimensions of cohomologies of the funda- mental groups of compact Sasakian manifolds by using the Hodge theory of twisted basic cohomology. As applications, we show that the polycyclic fundamental groups of compact Sasakian manifolds are virtually nilpotent and Sasakian solvmanifolds are finite quotients of Heisenberg nilmanifolds.
