Quaternionic Kähler Manifolds.
A characterization of certain complex structures on conformally-flat domains in real dimension 4 is carried out in the context of Hermitian geometry and twistor spaces. The presentation is motivated by some classical surface theory, whilst the problem itself leads to a refined classification of quadrics in complex projective 3-space. The main results are sandwiched between general facts in real dimension 2n and some concluding examples in real dimension 6.
The theory of slice-regular functions of a quaternion variable is applied to the study of orthogonal complex structures on domains of . When is a symmetric slice domain, the twistor transform of such a function is a holomorphic curve in the Klein quadric. The case in which is the complement of a parabola is studied in detail and described by a rational quartic surface in the twistor space .
