Abstract

We construct a generalization of twistor spaces of hypercomplex manifolds and hyper-Kahler manifolds MM, by generalizing the twistor P1\mathbb{P}^{1} to a more general complex manifold QQ. The resulting manifold XX is complex if and only if QQ admits a holomorphic map to P1\mathbb{P}^1. We make branched double covers of these manifolds. Some class of these branched double covers can give rise to non-Kahler Calabi-Yau manifolds. We show that these manifolds XX and their branched double covers are non-Kahler. In the cases that QQ is a balanced manifold, the resulting manifold XX and its special branched double cover have balanced Hermitian metrics.
