The study of gyration stability in projective planes.

Stable planes are locally isomorphic to classical projective planes.

Maps from 2-planes to projective spaces using quaternions and octonions.

We use the $η$-invariant of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer to compute the Eells-Kuiper invariant for the Eells-Kuiper quaternionic projective plane. By combining with a known result of Bérard-Bergery, it shows that every Eells-Kuiper quaternionic projective plane carries a Riemannian metric such that all geodesics passing throug…

Study on totally real flat minimal surfaces in quaternionic projective space.

In 1992, Brehm and Kühnel constructed a 8-dimensional simplicial complex $M^8_{15}$ with 15 vertices as a candidate to be a minimal triangulation of the quaternionic projective plane. They managed to prove that it is a manifold "like a projective plane" in the sense of Eells and Kuiper. However, it was not known until …

New triangulations of quaternionic projective plane found with various symmetry groups.

Researchers found non-Killing tensor fields on certain symmetric spaces.

The study restricts stable minimal immersions in product spaces to specific configurations.

We introduce the notion of even Clifford structures on Riemannian manifolds, a framework generalizing almost Hermitian and quaternion-Hermitian geometries. We give the complete classification of manifolds carrying parallel even Clifford structures: Kähler, quaternion-Kähler and Riemannian products of quaternion-Kähler …

We show that every spherical 2-Dupin submanifold that is not a hypersurface is conformally congruent to the standard embedding of the real, complex, quaternionic or octonionic projective plane. We also classify 2-CPC, 2-umbilical and weakly 2-umbilical submanifolds in space forms.

Study on stability of Einstein metrics on symmetric spaces.

In this note, we study deformations of quaternionic hyperbolic lattices in larger quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and prove local rigidity results. On the other hand, surface groups are shown to be more flexible in quaternionic hyperbolic plane than in complex hyperbolic plane.

We classify the (finite and infinite) virtually cyclic subgroups of the pure braid groups $P_{n}(RP^2)$ of the projective plane. The maximal finite subgroups of $P_{n}(RP^2)$ are isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8 if $n=3$, and to $\Z_{4}$ if $n\geq 4$. Further, for all $n\geq 3$, up to isomorphism, the foll…

Geometric structures over algebras describe geodesics and spaces.

Study calculates Kulkarni limit sets for quaternionic projective groups.

The paper proves quaternion projective space is unstable.

A planar portrait of a manifold is the pair of the image and the critical values of the manifold through a stable map into the plane. It can be considerd a geometric representation of the manifold drawn in the plane. The cusped fan is its basic local configuration. In this article, we focus on the fibreing structure ov…

It is a well known result of Gromov that all manifolds of a given dimension with positive sectional curvature are subject to a universal bound on the sum of their Betti numbers. On the other hand, there is no such bound for manifolds with positive Ricci curvature: indeed, Perelman constructed positive Ricci metrics on …

We introduce different bases for the vector space of $\mathrm{Sp}(2)\mathrm{Sp}(1)$-invariant, translation invariant continuous valuations on the quaternionic plane and determine a complete set of kinematic formulas.

New triangulations of octonionic projective plane found with restricted symmetry groups.

We describe the orbit space of the action of the group $\mathrm{Sp}(2)\mathrm{Sp}(1)$ on the real Grassmann manifolds $\mathrm{Gr}_k(\mathbb{H}^2)$ in terms of certain quaternionic matrices of Moore rank not larger than $2$. We then give a complete classification of valuations on the quaternionic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$ w…

The paper finds transformation formulas for quaternionic complex structures.

The Willmore energy for Frenet curves in quaternionic projective space is the generalization of the Willmore functional for immersions into the 4-sphere. Critical points of the Willmore energy are called Willmore curves in quaternionic projective space. Using a Baecklund transformation on Willmore curves, we generalize…

We prove that a compact quaternionic-Kähler manifold of dimension $4n\geq 8$ admitting a conformal-Killing 2-form which is not Killing, is isomorphic to the quaternionic projective space, with its standard quaternionic-Kähler structure.

Study complex quaternionic manifolds and their c-projective structures.

We show that a closed simply connected 8-manifold (9-manifold) of positive sectional curvature on which a 3-torus (4-torus) acts isometrically is homeomorphic to a sphere, a complex projective space or a quaternionic projective plane (sphere). We show that a closed simply connected 2m-manifold (m>4) of positive section…

Classifies foliations of complex and quaternionic projective spaces.

The study constructs minimal submanifolds in complex and quaternionic projective spaces.

Study on quaternionic bisectional curvature for quaternion-Kähler manifolds.

The generalized Feix--Kaledin construction shows that c-projective $2n$-manifolds with curvature of type $(1,1)$ are precisely the submanifolds of quaternionic $4n$-manifolds which are fixed points set of a special type of quaternionic $S^1$ action $v$. In this paper, we consider this construction in the presence of in…

We classify isometric actions of compact Lie groups on quaternionic-Kähler projective spaces with vanishing homogeneity rank. We also show that they are not in general quaternion-coisotropic.

We extend T. Y. Thomas's approach to the projective structures, over the complex analytic category, by involving the $ρ$-connections. This way, a better control of the projective flatness is obtained and, consequently, we have, for example, the following application: if the twistor space of a quaternionic manifold $P$ …

Hypercomplex-valued neural networks, including quaternion-valued neural networks, can treat multi-dimensional data as a single entity. In this paper, we present the quaternion-valued recurrent projection neural networks (QRPNNs). Briefly, QRPNNs are obtained by combining the non-local projection learning with the quate…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed $4k$-manifold whose Yamabe invariant $Y(M)$ is nonpositive. We show that $Y(M\sharp l \Bbb HP^k\sharp m \bar{\Bbb HP^k})=Y(M),$ where $l,m$ are nonnegative integers, and $\Bbb HP^k$ is the quaternionic projective space. When $k=4$, we also have $$Y(M\sharp l CaP^2\sharp m \bar{CaP^2})=Y(M),…

This is a survey on the construction of a canonical or "octonionic Kähler" 8-form, representing one of the generators of the cohomology of the four Cayley-Rosenfeld projective planes. The construction, in terms of the associated even Clifford structures, draws a parallel with that of the quaternion Kähler 4-form. We po…

We present a uniform framework generalising and extending the classical theories of projective differential geometry, c-projective geometry, and almost quaternionic geometry. Such geometries, which we call \emph{projective parabolic geometries}, are abelian parabolic geometries whose flat model is an R-space $G\cdot\ma…

It is of interest to characterize algebraically the dynamical types of isometries of the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic planes. In the complex case, such a characterization is known from the work of Giraud-Goldman. In this paper, we offer an algebraic characterization of the isometries of the two-dimensional quate…

This paper establishes inequalities on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the Cayley hyperbolic plane.

We prove that every projective special Kähler manifold with \emph{regular boundary behaviour} is complete and defines a family of complete quaternionic Kähler manifolds depending on a parameter $c\ge 0$. We also show that, irrespective of its boundary behaviour, every complete projective special Kähler manifold with \e…

Researchers found indecomposable Killing tensor fields on quaternionic projective spaces.

We view conformal surfaces in the 4--sphere as quaternionic holomorphic curves in quaternionic projective space. By constructing enveloping and osculating curves, we obtain new holomorphic curves in quaternionic projective space and thus new conformal surfaces. Applying these constructions to Willmore surfaces, we show…

We study the relations between the quaternion $H$-type group and the boundary of the unit ball on two dimensional quaternionic space. The orthogonal projection of the space of square integrable functions defined on quaternion $H$-type group into its subspace of boundary values of $q$-holomorphic functions is consider. …

In the present paper we introduce the class of slice-polynomial functions: slice regular functions {defined over the quaternions, outside the real axis,} whose restriction to any complex half-plane is a polynomial. These functions naturally emerge in the twistor interpretation of slice regularity introduced in \cite{ge…

We call a quaternionic Kaehler manifold with non-zero scalar curvature, whose quaternionic structure is trivialized by a hypercomplex structure, a hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kaehler manifold. We prove that every locally symmetric hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kaehler manifold is locally isometric to the quaternionic p…

We study a problem of the geometric quantization for the quaternion projective space. First we explain a Kaehler structure on the punctured cotangent bundle of the quaternion projective space, whose Kaehler form coincides with the natural symplectic form on the cotangent bundle and show that the canonical line bundle o…

We introduce a natural notion of quaternionic map between almost quaternionic manifolds and we prove the following, for maps of rank at least one: 1) A map between quaternionic manifolds endowed with the integrable almost twistorial structures is twistorial if and only if it is quaternionic. 2) A map between quaternion…
