Harmonic morphisms between Weyl spaces and twistorial maps II

Differential Geometry 2007-06-06 v3

Abstract

We define, on smooth manifolds, the notions of almost twistorial structure and twistorial map, thus providing a unified framework for all known examples of twistor spaces. The condition of being harmonic morphisms naturally appears among the geometric properties of submersive twistorial maps between low-dimensional Weyl spaces endowed with a nonintegrable almost twistorial structure due to Eells and Salamon. This leads to the twistorial characterisation of harmonic morphisms between Weyl spaces of dimensions four and three. Also, we give a thorough description of the twistorial maps with one-dimensional fibres from four-dimensional Weyl spaces endowed with the almost twistorial structure of Eells and Salamon.
