Quaternionic Kähler and hyperKähler manifolds with torsion and twistor spaces

چکیده
The target space of a (4,0) supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma model with Wess-Zumino term has a connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion and holonomy contained in Sp(n)Sp(1) (resp. Sp(n)), QKT (resp. HKT)-spaces. We study the geometry of QKT, HKT manifold and their twistor spaces. We show that the Swann bundle of a QKT manifold admits a HKT structure with special symmetry if and only if the twistor space of the QKT manifold admits an almost hermitian structure with totally skew-symmetric Nijenhuis tensor, thus connecting two structures arising from quantum field theories and supersymmetric sigma models with WessZumino term. We discovered that a HKT manifold has always co-closed Lee form. Applying this property to compact HKT manifold we get information about the plurigenera.

Twistor spaces for QKT manifolds
We find that the target space of two-dimensional (4,0) supersymmetric sigma models with torsion coupled to (4,0) supergravity is a QKT manifold, that is, a quaternionic Kahler manifold with torsion. We give four examples of geodesically complete QKT manifolds one of which is a generalisation of the LeBrun geometry. We then construct the twistor space associated with a QKT manifold and show that...
متن کاملHypermultiplets, Hyperkähler Cones and Quaternion-Kähler Geometry
We study hyperkähler cones and their corresponding quaternion-Kähler spaces. We present a classification of 4(n − 1)-dimensional quaternionKähler spaces with n abelian quaternionic isometries, based on dualizing superconformal tensor multiplets. These manifolds characterize the geometry of the hypermultiplet sector of perturbative moduli spaces of type-II strings compactified on a Calabi-Yau ma...
متن کاملHyperKähler and quaternionic Kähler manifolds with S– symmetries
We study relations between quaternionic Riemannian manifolds admitting different types of symmetries. We show that any hyperKähler manifold admitting hyperKähler potential and triholomorphic action of S1 can be constructed from another hyperKähler manifold (of lower dimention) with an action of S1 which fixes one complex structure and rotates the other two and vice versa. On the other hand, the...

We discuss hypercomplex and hyperkähler structures obtained from higher degree curves in complex spaces fibring over P.
متن کاملProperties of hyperkähler manifolds and their twistor spaces
We describe the relation between supersymmetric σ-models on hyperkähler manifolds, projective superspace, and twistor space. We review the essential aspects and present a coherent picture with a number of new results.
