Abstract

An almost quaternion-Hermitian structure on a Riemannian manifold (M4n,g)(M^{4n},g) is a reduction of the structure group of MM to Sp(n)Sp(1)SO(4n)\mathrm{Sp}(n)\mathrm{Sp}(1)\subset \mathrm{SO}(4n). In this paper we show that a compact simply connected homogeneous almost quaternion-Hermitian manifold of non-vanishing Euler characteristic is either a Wolf space, or S2×S2\mathbb{S}^2\times \mathbb{S}^2, or the complex quadric SO(7)/U(3)\mathrm{SO}(7)/\mathrm{U}(3).
