Quaternionic contact Einstein structures and the quaternionic contact yamabe problems / Stefan Ivanov, Ivan Minchev and Dimiter Vassilev.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society ; v 231, no 1086.Publication details: Providence : American Mathematical Society, c2014.Description: v, 82 p. ; 26 cmISBN:

Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 510 23 Am512
Contents:
1. Introduction-- 2. Quaternionic contact structures and the Biquard connection -- 3. The torsion and curvature of the Biquard connection -- 4. QC-Einstein quaternionic contact structures -- 5. Conformal transformations of a qc-structure -- 6. Special functions and pseudo-Einstein quaternionic contact structures -- 7. Infinitesimal Automorphisms -- 8. Quaternionic contact Yamabe problem-- Bibliography-- Index.
Summary: A partial solution of the quaternionic contact Yamabe problem on the quaternionic sphere is given. It is shown that the torsion of the Biquard connection vanishes exactly when the trace-free part of the horizontal Ricci tensor of the Biquard connection is zero and this occurs precisely on 3-Sasakian manifolds.
