Quaternionic contact structure with integrable complementary distribution

Geometric Topology 2022-07-28 v2

Abstract

We study positive definite quaternionic contact (4n+3)(4n+3)-manifolds (qcqc-manifold for short). Just like the CRCR-structure contains the class of Sasaki manifolds, the qcqc-structure admits a class of 33-Sasaki manifolds with integrable distribution isomorphic to su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2). A big difference concerning the integrable complementary qcqc-distribution VV of the qcqc-structure from 33-Sasaki structure is the existence of Lie algebra not isomorphic to su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2). We take up non-compact qcqc-manifolds to find out a salient feature of topology and geometry in case VV generates the qcqc-transformations R3R^3.
