Almost Hermitian Structures and Quaternionic Geometries

چکیده
Gray & Hervella gave a classification of almost Hermitian structures (g, I) into 16 classes. We systematically study the interaction between these classes when one has an almost hyper-Hermitian structure (g, I, J,K). In general dimension we find at most 167 different almost hyper-Hermitian structures. In particular, we obtain a number of relations that give hyperKäher or locally conformal hyperKähler structures, thus generalising a result of Hitchin. We also study the types of almost quaternion-Hermitian geometries that arise and tabulate the results. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 53C25; Secondary 53C15, 53C10.

Hermitian and quaternionic Hermitian structures on tangent bundles
We review the theory of quaternionic Kähler and hyperkähler structures. Then we consider the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold M with a metric connection D (with torsion) and with its well estabilished canonical complex structure. With an extra almost Hermitian structure on M it is possible to find a quaternionic Hermitian structure on TM , which is quaternionic Kähler if, and only if, D ...
متن کاملInvariant Operators on Manifolds
This paper demonstrates the power of the calculus developed in the two previous parts of the series for all real forms of the almost Hermitian symmetric structures on smooth manifolds, including e.g. conformal Riemannian and almost quaternionic geometries. Exploiting some finite dimensional representation theory of simple Lie algebras, we give explicit formulae for distinguished invariant curve...
متن کاملGeneralized Planar Curves and Quaternionic Geometry
Motivated by the analogies between the projective and the almost quaternionic geometries, we first study the generalized planar curves and mappings. We follow, recover, and extend the classical approach, see e.g. [9, 10]. Then we exploit the impact of the general results in the almost quaternionic geometry. In particular we show, that the natural class of H–planar curves coincides with the clas...
متن کاملalmost-quaternionic Hermitian manifolds
In this note we prove that if the fundamental 4-form of an almost-quaternionic Hermitian manifold (M,Q, g) of dimension 4n ≥ 8 satisfies the conformal-Killing equation, then (M,Q, g) is quaternionic-Kähler.
متن کاملQuaternionic Kähler and Spin(7) Metrics Arising from Quaternionic Contact Einstein Structures
We construct left invariant quaternionic contact (qc) structures on Lie groups with zero and non-zero torsion and with non-vanishing quaternionic contact conformal curvature tensor, thus showing the existence of non-flat quaternionic contact manifolds. We prove that the product of the real line with a seven dimensional manifold, equipped with a certain qc structure, has a quaternionic Kähler me...
