Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to describe the moduli spaces of degree d quaternionic superminimal maps from 2-spheres to quaternionic projective spaces HPn. We show that such moduli spaces have the structure of projectivized fibre products and are connected quasi-projective varieties of dimension 2nd + 2n + 2. This generalizes known results for spaces of harmonic 2-spheres in S4.
