Abstract

We find a necessary condition for the existence of an action of a Lie group GG by quaternionic automorphisms on an integrable quaternionic manifold in terms of representations of g\mathfrak{g}. We check this condition and prove that a Riemannian symmetric space of dimension 4n4n for n2n\geq 2 has an invariant integrable almost quaternionic structure if and only if it is quaternionic vector space, quaternionic hyperbolic space or quaternionic projective space.
