Interactions between para-quaternionic and Grassmannian geometry

Differential Geometry 2018-10-30 v2

Abstract

Almost para-quaternionic structures on smooth manifolds of dimension 2n2n are equivalent to almost Grassmannian structures of type (2,n)(2,n). We remind the equivalence and exhibit some interrelations between subjects that were previously studied independently from the para-quaternionic and the Grassmannian point of view. In particular, we relate the respective normalization conditions, distinguished curves and twistor constructions.
