Singular Self-dual Zollfrei Metrics and Twistor Correspondence

Differential Geometry 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We construct examples of singular self-dual Zollfrei metrics explicitly, by patching a pair of Petean's self-dual split-signature metrics. We prove that there is a natural one-to-one correspondence between these singular metrics and a certain set of embeddings of RP3RP^3 to CP3CP^3 which has one singular point. This embedding corresponds to an odd function on RR that is rapidly decreasing and pure imaginary valued. The one-to-one correspondence is explicitly given by using the Radon transform.
