The topology of quaternionic contact manifolds

Differential Geometry 2014-02-11 v1

Abstract

We explore the consequences of curvature and torsion on the topology of quaternionic contact manifolds with integrable vertical distribution. We prove a general Myers theorem and establish a Cartan-Hadamard result for almost qc-Einstein manifolds.
