چکیده

Given a geometric structure on a manifold it is natural to ask what are the symmetries of that structure and what are the examples of such structures with a big group of symmetries. In this talk I wish to start by discussing such questions for quaternionic KK ahler manifolds. Let M be a quaternionic KK ahler manifold, that is a manifold whose holonomy is contained in Sp(n) Sp(1), the subgroup of SO(4n) acting on R 4n = H n via (A; q) = AAq. I will assume that the scalar curvature of M is non-zero, thus ruling out the case when M is locally hyperKK ahler, but will not necessarily assume that M is compact. Fibred over M, is the twistor space Z 36, 5]. This is a complex-contact manifold with a real structure and a (possibly indeenite) KK ahler metric. The bres of Z ! M are rational curves C P(1) = S 2 called twistor lines which are preserved by and have normal bundle = 2nO(1). I will regard the complex-contact structure as a holomorphic one-form taking values in a holomorphic line bundle L ! Z such that ^ (dd) n vanishes nowhere and = .

On the Hyperk Ahler Metrics Associated to Singularities of Nilpotent Varieties

We study the hyperkk ahler metrics associated to minimal singularities in the nilpotent variety of a semisimple Lie group. We show that Kronheimer's 4-dimensional ALE spaces are naturally realized within the context of coadjoint orbits and can be thought of as certain moduli spaces of SU(2) invariant instantons on R 4 nf0g with appropriate boundary conditions. We also show that the hyperkk ahle...

Some Remarks on Quaternion-hermitian Manifolds

Nearly-quaternionic KK ahler manifolds of dimension at least 8 are shown to be quaternionic KK ahler. Restrictions on the covariant derivative of the fundamental four-form of a semi-quaternionic KK ahler are also found.

Invariant Hyperk Ahler Metrics with a Homogeneous Complex Structure

We give a hyperkk ahler analogue of the classiication of compact homogeneous KK ahler manifolds. Namely we show that, for a compact semisimple Lie group G, the complete G-invariant hyperkk ahler manifolds which are also locally G c-homogeneous with respect to one of the complex structures are precisely the hy-perkk ahler metrics of Kronheimer, Biquard and Kovalev on coadjoint semisimple orbits ...

Complete Hyperk Ahler 4n-manifolds with a Local Tri-hamiltonian R N -action

We classify those manifolds mentioned in the title which have nite topological type. Namely we show that any such connected M 4n is isomorphic to a hyperkk ahler quotient of a at quaternionic vector space H d by an abelian group. We also show that a compact connected and simply connected 3-Sasakian manifold of dimension 4n ? 1 whose isometry group has rank n + 1 is isometric to a 3-Sasakian quo...
