We obtain infinite classes of new Einstein-Sasaki metrics on complete and nonsingular manifolds. They arise, after Euclideanization, from BPS limits of the rotating Kerr–de Sitter black hole metrics. The new Einstein-Sasaki spaces Lp,q,r in five dimensions have cohomogeneity 2 and U(1)×U(1)×U(1) isometry group. They are topologically S2×S3. Their AdS/CFT duals describe quiver theories on the four-dimensional boundary of AdS5. We also obtain new Einstein-Sasaki spaces of cohomogeneity n in all odd dimensions D=2n+1≥5, with U(1)n+1 isometry.
