We construct explicit Einstein-Kahler metrics in all even dimensions D=2n+4 \ge 6, in terms of a $2n$-dimensional Einstein-Kahler base metric. These are cohomogeneity 2 metrics which have the new feature of including a NUT-type parameter, in addition to mass and rotation parameters. Using a canonical construction, these metrics all yield Einstein-Sasaki metrics in dimensions D=2n+5 \ge 7. As is commonly the case in this type of construction, for suitable choices of the free parameters the Einstein-Sasaki metrics can extend smoothly onto complete and non-singular manifolds, even though the underlying Einstein-Kahler metric has conical singularities. We discuss some explicit examples in the case of seven-dimensional Einstein-Sasaki spaces. These new spaces can provide supersymmetric backgrounds in M-theory, which play a role in the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence.

Original abstract
We construct explicit Einstein-Kahler metrics in all even dimensions D=2n+4 \ge 6, in terms of a $2n$-dimensional Einstein-Kahler base metric. These are cohomogeneity 2 metrics which have the new feature of including a NUT-type parameter, in addition to mass and rotation parameters. Using a canonical construction, these metrics all yield Einstein-Sasaki metrics in dimensions D=2n+5 \ge 7. As is commonly the case in this type of construction, for suitable choices of the free parameters the Einstein-Sasaki metrics can extend smoothly onto complete and non-singular manifolds, even though the underlying Einstein-Kahler metric has conical singularities. We discuss some explicit examples in the case of seven-dimensional Einstein-Sasaki spaces. These new spaces can provide supersymmetric backgrounds in M-theory, which play a role in the AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence.

One can check from the form of the toric diagram that the $A^p,q,r$ are a subset of a more general family of Sasaki–Einstein manifolds with cohomogeneity two and $U(1)^4$ symmetry discussed in [ref] in different coordinates; the family depends on six integers and has a toric diagram with six external points.

Recently, the study of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds [ref] has led to infinitely many explicit metrics on (non-compact) Calabi-Yau cones.
