We initiate the study of the generalized quaternionic manifolds by classifying the generalized quaternionic vector spaces, and by giving two classes of nonclassical examples of such manifolds. Thus, we show that any complex symplectic…

In a general and non metrical framework, we introduce the class of CR quaternionic manifolds containing the class of quaternionic manifolds, whilst in dimension three it particularizes to, essentially, give the conformal manifolds. We show…

In a general and non metrical framework, we introduce the class of co-CR quaternionic manifolds, which contains the class of quaternionic manifolds, whilst in dimension three it particularizes to give the Einstein-Weyl spaces. We show that…

The existing classification of homogeneous quaternionic spaces is not complete. We study these spaces in the context of certain $N=2$ supergravity theories, where dimensional reduction induces a mapping between {\em special} real, K\"ahler…

We investigate several classes of submanifolds of almost quaternionic skew-Hermitian manifolds $(M^{4n}, Q, \omega)$, including almost symplectic, almost complex, almost pseudo-Hermitian and almost quaternionic submanifolds. In the…

An explicit classification of homogeneous quaternionic Kaehler structures by real tensors is derived and we relate this to the representation-theoretic description found by Fino. We then show how the quaternionic hyperbolic space HH(n) is…

Let V be the pseudo-Euclidean vector space of signature (p,q), p>2 and W a module over the even Clifford algebra Cl^0 (V). A homogeneous quaternionic manifold (M,Q) is constructed for any spin(V)-equivariant linear map \Pi : \wedge^2 W \to…

We study the Penrose transform for the `quaternionic objects' whose twistor spaces are complex manifolds endowed with locally complete families of embedded Riemann spheres with positive normal bundles.

We provide a complete classification of quaternionic skew-Hermitian symmetric spaces, namely symmetric spaces that admit a torsion-free ${\rm SO}^{*}(2n){\rm Sp}(1)$-structure for arbitrary $n>1$. Moreover, we prove that any homogeneous…

The recent definition of slice regular function of several quaternionic variables suggests a new notion of quaternionic manifold. We give the definition of quaternionic regular manifold, as a space locally modeled on $\mathbb{H}^n$, in a…

We characterise, in the setting of the Kodaira-Spencer deformation theory, the twistor spaces of (co-)CR quaternionic manifolds. As an application, we prove that, locally, the leaf space of any nowhere zero quaternionic vector field on a…

We describe special Ka\"hler geometry, special quaternionic manifolds, and very special real manifolds and analyze the structure of their isometries. The classification of the homogeneous manifolds of these types is presented.

In the present paper we introduce and study a new notion of toric manifold in the quaternionic setting. We develop a construction with which, starting from appropriate $m$-dimensional Delzant polytopes, we obtain manifolds of real dimension…

We introduce the notion of tame $\rho$-quaternionic manifold that permits the construction of a finite family of $\rho$-connections, significant for the geometry involved. This provides, for example, the following: (1) a new simple global…

We classify all complete projective special real manifolds with reducible cubic potential, obtaining four series. For two of the series the manifolds are homogeneous, for the two others the respective automorphism group acts with…

We characterise the integrability of any co-CR quaternionic structure in terms of the curvature and a generalized torsion of the connection. Also, we apply this result to obtain, for example, the following. (1) New co-CR quaternionic…

Using techniques from supergravity and dimensional reduction, we study the full isometry algebra of K\"ahler and quaternionic manifolds with special geometry. These two varieties are related by the so-called c-map, which can be understood…

This is a complete classification of the complex forms of quaternionic symmetric spaces

We discuss complex quaternionic manifolds, i.e., those that have holonomy $GL(n,\mathbb{H})U(1)$, which naturally arise via quaternionic Feix--Kaledin construction. We show that for a fixed c-projective class, any real analytic connection…

We call a quaternionic Kaehler manifold with non-zero scalar curvature, whose quaternionic structure is trivialized by a hypercomplex structure, a hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kaehler manifold. We prove that every locally symmetric…
