Correspondence Spaces and Twistor Spaces for Parabolic Geometries

چکیده
For a semisimple Lie group G with parabolic subgroups Q ⊂ P ⊂ G, we associate to a parabolic geometry of type (G,P ) on a smooth manifold N the correspondence space CN , which is the total space of a fiber bundle over N with fiber a generalized flag manifold, and construct a canonical parabolic geometry of type (G,Q) on CN . Conversely, for a parabolic geometry of type (G,Q) on a smooth manifold M , we construct a distribution corresponding to P , and find the exact conditions for its integrability. If these conditions are satisfied, then we define the twistor space N as a local leaf space of the corresponding foliation. We find equivalent conditions for the existence of a parabolic geometry of type (G,P ) on the twistor space N such that M is locally isomorphic to the correspondence space CN , thus obtaining a complete local characterization of correspondence spaces. We show that all these constructions preserve the subclass of normal parabolic geometries (which are determined by some underlying geometric structure) and that in the regular normal case, all characterizations can be expressed in terms of the harmonic curvature of the Cartan connection, which is easier to handle. Several examples and applications are

Two Constructions with Parabolic Geometries
This is an expanded version of a series of lectures delivered at the 25th Winter School “Geometry and Physics” in Srni. After a short introduction to Cartan geometries and parabolic geometries, we give a detailed description of the equivalence between parabolic geometries and underlying geometric structures. The second part of the paper is devoted to constructions which relate parabolic geometr...
متن کاملA New Series of Compact Minitwistor Spaces and Moishezon Twistor Spaces over Them
In recent papers [8, 9], we gave explicit description of some new Moishezon twistor spaces. In this paper, generalizing the method in the papers, we explicitly give projective models of a number of new Moishezon twistor spaces, as conic bundles over some rational surfaces (called minitwistor spaces). These include the twistor spaces studied in the papers as very special cases. Our source of the...
متن کاملExplicit Construction of New Moishezon Twistor Spaces
In this paper we explicitly construct Moishezon twistor spaces on nCP for arbitrary n ≥ 2 which admit a holomorphic C-action. When n = 2, they coincide with Y. Poon’s twistor spaces. When n = 3, they coincide with the one studied by the author in [14]. When n ≥ 4, they are new twistor spaces, to the best of the author’s knowledge. By investigating the anticanonical system, we show that our twis...
متن کاملDouble Solid Twistor Spaces: the Case of Arbitrary Signature
In a recent paper ([9]) we constructed a series of new Moishezon twistor spaces which are a kind of variant of the famous LeBrun twistor spaces. In this paper we explicitly give projective models of another series of Moishezon twistor spaces on nCP for arbitrary n ≥ 3, which can be regarded as a generalization of the twistor spaces of ‘double solid type’ on 3CP studied by Kreußler, Kurke, Poon ...
