Manifolds with holonomy U*(2m)

Differential Geometry 2014-03-28 v1

Abstract

We consider the geometry determined by a torsion-free affine connection whose holonomy lies in the subgroup U*(2m), a real form of GL(2m,C), otherwise denoted by SL(m,H).U(1). We show in particular how examples may be generated from quaternionic K\"ahler or hyperk\"ahler manifolds with a circle action.
