Self Dual Einstein Orbifolds with Few Symmetries as Quaternion Kähler Quotients
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a new family of compact orbifolds O(Θ) with a positive self dual Einstein metric and a one-dimensional group of isometries. Together with another family, introduced in [6] and here denoted by O(Ω), these examples classify all 4-dimensional orbifolds that are quaternion Kähler quotients by a torus of real Grassmannians.

Toric Self-dual Einstein Metrics as Quotients
We use the quaternion Kähler reduction technique to study old and new selfdual Einstein metrics of negative scalar curvature with at least a two-dimensional isometry group, and relate the quotient construction to the hyperbolic eigenfunction Ansatz. We focus in particular on the (semi-)quaternion Kähler quotients of (semi-)quaternion Kähler hyperboloids, analysing the completeness and topology,...
متن کاملQuaternionic Kähler Reductions of Wolf Spaces
The main purpose of the following article is to introduce a Lie theoretical approach to the problem of classifying pseudo quaternionic-Kähler (QK) reductions of the pseudo QK symmetric spaces, otherwise called generalized Wolf spaces. The history of QK geometry starts with the celebrated Berger’s Theorem [Ber55] which classifies all the irreducible holonomy groups for not locally symmetric pseu...
متن کاملNull Kähler structures, Symmetries and Integrability
I feel honoured to be able to make this small contribution to the celebration of Jerzy Plebański’s 75th birthday. Plebański has presumably regarded his work on complex relativity as a step towards producing general solutions to the Einstein equations on a real Lorentzian manifold. No one in the mid-seventies could expect that his contributions to the field would underlie the relation between tw...

We construct a 2-parameter family FZ of Riemannian metrics on the twistor space Z of a positive quaternion Kähler manifold M satisfying the following properties : (1) the family FZ contains an Einstein metric gZ and its scalings, (2) the family FZ is closed under the operation of making the convex sums, (3) the Ricci map g 7→ Ric(g) defines a dynamical system on the family FZ, (4) the Ricci flo...

An important example of a multi-dimensional integrable system is the anti-self-dual Einstein equations. By studying the symmetries of these equations, a recursion operator is found and the associated hierarchy constructed. Owing to the properties of the recursion operator one may construct a hierarchy of symmetries and find the algebra generated by them. In addition, the Lax pair for this hiera...
