Abstract

Let SS be a smooth rational curve on a complex manifold MM. It is called ample if its normal bundle is positive. We assume that MM is covered by smooth holomorphic deformations of SS. The basic example of such a manifold is a twistor space of a hyperkahler or a 4-dimensional anti-selfdual Riemannian manifold XX (not necessarily compact). We prove "a holography principle" for such a manifold: any meromorphic function defined in a neighbourhood UU of SS can be extended to MM, and any section of a holomorphic line bundle can be extended from UU to MM. This is used to define the notion of a Moishezon twistor space: this is a twistor space \Tw(X)\Tw(X) admitting a holomorphic embedding to a Moishezon variety MM'. We show that this property is local on XX, and the variety MM' is unique up to birational transform. We prove that the twistor spaces of hyperkahler manifolds obtained by hyperkahler reduction of flat quaternionic-Hermitian spaces by the action of reductive Lie groups (such as Nakajima's quiver varieties) are always Moishezon.
