Quaternionic analytic torsion

چکیده
We define an (equivariant) quaternionic analytic torsion for antiselfdual vector bundles on quaternionic Kähler manifolds, using ideas by Leung and Yi. We compute this torsion for vector bundles on quaternionic homogeneous spaces with respect to any isometry in the component of the identity, in terms of roots and Weyl groups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C25, 58J52, 53C26, 53C35

Quaternionic Contact Einstein Structures and the Quaternionic Contact Yamabe Problem
A partial solution of the quaternionic contact Yamabe problem on the quaternionic sphere is given. It is shown that the torsion of the Biquard connection vanishes exactly when the trace-free part of the horizontal Ricci tensor of the Biquard connection is zero and this occurs precisely on 3-Sasakian manifolds. All conformal deformations sending the standard flat torsion-free quaternionic contac...
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...
متن کاملPlurisubharmonic functions on hypercomplex manifolds and HKT-geometry
A hypercomplex manifold is a manifold equipped with a triple of complex structures I, J,K satisfying the quaternionic relations. We define a quaternionic analogue of plurisubharmonic functions on hypercomplex manifolds, and interpret these functions geometrically as potentials of HKT (hyperkähler with torsion) metrics, and prove a quaternionic analogue of A.D. Aleksandrov and Chern-Levine-Niren...
متن کاملQuaternionic Contact Manifolds with a Closed Fundamental 4-form
We define a global horizontal 4-form on a quaternionic contact manifold and show that it is closed if and only if the torsion of the Biquard connection vanishes provided the dimension is grater than seven. This condition characterizes quaternionic contact structures which are locally qc homothetic to 3-sasakian.
متن کاملGrassmannians , Calibrations and Five - Brane Intersections
We present a geometric construction of a new class of hyper-Kähler manifolds with torsion. This involves the superposition of the four-dimensional hyper-Kähler geometry with torsion associated with the NS-5-brane along quaternionic planes in H k. We find the moduli space of these geometries and show that it can be constructed using the bundle space of the canonical quaternionic line bundle over...
