Pseudo-conformal quaternionic CR structure on (4n + 3)-dimensional manifolds

We study an integrable, nondegenerate codimension 3-subbundle ${\mathcal{D}}We study an integrable, nondegenerate codimension 3-subbundle on a (4n + 3)-manifold M whose fiber supports the structure of 4n-dimensional quaternionic vector space. It is thought of as a generalization of quaternionic CR structure. We single out an -valued 1-form ω locally on a neighborhood U such that and construct the curvature invariant on (M, ω) whose vanishing gives a uniformization to flat quaternionic CR geometry. The invariant obtained on M has the same formula as that of pseudo-quaternionic K?hler 4n-manifolds. From this viewpoint, we exhibit a quaternionic analogue of Chern-Moser’s CR structure.

The Einstein-Kähler metric on the third Cartan-Hartogs domain

In this paper we discuss the Einstein-Kahler metric on the third Cartan-Hartogs domain Y111（n, q; K）. Firstly we get the complete Einstein Kahler metric with explicit form on Y111（n, q; K） in the case of K=q/2 ＋ 1/q-1. Secondly we obtain the holomorphic sectional curvature under this metric and get the sharp estimate for this holomorphic curvature. Finally we prove that the complete Einstein-Kahler metric is equivalent to the Bergman metric on Y111（n, q; K） in case of K=q/2＋1/q-1.     

On some constructive aspects of monogenic function theory in ℝ4

As is well known, a possible generalization to ?⁴ of the classical Cauchy–Riemann system leads to the so‐called Riesz system. The main goal of this paper is to construct explicitly a complete orthonormal system of polynomial solutions of this system with respect to a certain inner product. This will be done in the spaces of square integrable functions on the unit ball over ?. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Constant Scalar Curvature Metrics on Toric Surfaces

The main result of the paper is an existence theorem for a constant scalar curvature Kahler metric on a toric surface, assuming the K-stability of the manifold. The proof builds on earlier papers by the author, which reduce the problem to certain a priori estimates. These estimates are obtained using a combination of arguments from Riemannian geometry and convex analysis. The last part of the paper contains a discussion of the phenomena that can be expected when the K-stability does not hold and solutions do not exist.

In this paper, the Kahler conditions of the Chern-Finsler connection in complex Finsler geometry are studied, and it is proved that Kahler Finsler metrics are actually strongly Kahler.

Note on a theorem of Bangert

We generalize Bangert’s non-hyperbolicity result for uniformly tamed almost complex structures on standard symplectic ℝ²ⁿ to asymptotically standard symplectic manifolds.     

Singularities of slice regular functions

Beginning in 2006, G. Gentili and D. C. Struppa developed a theory of regular quaternionic functions with properties that recall classical results in complex analysis. For instance, in each Euclidean ball B(0, R) centered at 0 the set of regular functions coincides with that of quaternionic power series $\sum _{n \in {\mathbb {N}}} q^n a_n$ converging in B(0, R). In 2009 the author proposed a classification of singularities of regular functions as removable, essential or as poles and studied poles by constructing the ring of quotients. In that article, not only the statements, but also the proving techniques were confined to the special case of balls B(0, R). Quite recently, F. Colombo, G. Gentili and I. Sabadini (2010) and the same authors in collaboration with D. C. Struppa (2009) identified a larger class of domains, on which the theory of regular functions is natural and not limited to quaternionic power series. The present article studies singularities in this new context, beginning with the construction of the ring of quotients and of Laurent‐type expansions at points p other than the origin. These expansions, which differ significantly from their complex analogs, allow a classification of singularities that is consistent with the one given in 2009. Poles are studied, as well as essential singularities, for which a version of the Casorati‐Weierstrass Theorem is proven.     

ON MINIMAL IMMERSIONS OF R^2 INTO THE NEARLY KAHLER S^6

In terms of the almost complex affine connection and moving unitary frames,all totally rael minimal immersions from R^2 into the nearly Kahler S^6 are determine explicitly. Moreover, the complete flat almost complex curves in the nearly Kahler S^6 aredetermined completely.     

Chiral tetrahedrons as unitary quaternions: Molecules and particles under the same standard?

Chiral tetrahedral molecules can be dealt with under the standard of quaternionic algebra. Specifically, noncommutativity of quaternions is a feature directly related to the chirality of molecules. We show that a quaternionic representation naturally arises out from empirical Fischer projections, and the action of the related algebra on the quantum states of molecules is studied. Analogies with fundamental particle physics are discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005
