Twisted cotangent sheaves and a Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem for foliations

Andreas Höring (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a normal projective variety, and let A be an ample Cartier divisor on X . Suppose that X is not the projective space. We prove that the twisted cotangent sheaf Ω X A is generically nef with respect to the polarisation  A . As an application we prove a Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem for foliations: if T X is a foliation such that det i A , then i is at most the rank of .

Twistor transforms of quaternionic functions and orthogonal complex structures

Graziano Gentili, Simon Salamon, Caterina Stoppato (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The theory of slice-regular functions of a quaternion variable is applied to the study of orthogonal complex structures on domains Ω of 4 . When Ω is a symmetric slice domain, the twistor transform of such a function is a holomorphic curve in the Klein quadric. The case in which Ω is the complement of a parabola is studied in detail and described by a rational quartic surface in the twistor space P 3 .
