Positive Quaternion Kähler Manifolds are Riemannian manifolds with holonomy contained in Sp(n)Sp(1) and with positive scalar curvature. Conjecturally, they are symmetric spaces. We prove this conjecture in dimension 20 under additional assumptions and we provide recognition theorems for the real Grassmannian [Formula: see text] in almost all dimensions.

In this paper we present a study on geometric structures modeled after homogeneous contact manifolds and show that on Fano manifolds these geometric structures are locally isomorphic to the standard geometric structures on the model spaces. This conclusion is analogous to those of [13, 7]. We expect that this work will help prove the conjecture that a compact quaternionic Kähler manifold of positive scalar curvature is a quaternionic symmetric space [21].

Any compact 3-Sasakian manifold [Formula: see text] is a principal circle V-bundle over a compact complex orbifold [Formula: see text]. This orbifold has a contact Fano structure with a Kähler–Einstein metric of positive scalar curvature and it is the twistor space of a positive compact quaternionic Kähler orbifold [Formula: see text]. We show that many results known to hold when [Formula: see text] is a smooth manifold extend to this more general singular case. However, we construct infinite families of examples with [Formula: see text] which sharply differs from the smooth case, where there is only one such [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe study the behavior of connections and curvature under the HK/QK correspondence, proving simple formulae expressing the Levi-Civita connection and Riemann curvature tensor on the quaternionic Kähler side in terms of the initial hyper-Kähler data. Our curvature formula refines a well-known decomposition theorem due to Alekseevsky. As an application, we compute the norm of the curvature tensor for a series of complete quaternionic Kähler manifolds arising from flat hyper-Kähler manifolds. We use this to deduce that these manifolds are of cohomogeneity one.

AbstractWe consider the extent of certain complete hypersurfaces of Euclidean space. We prove that every complete hypersurface in En+1 with sectional curvature bounded below and non-positive scalar curvature has at least (n − 1) unbounded coordinate functions.
