[Title] Complex Geometry Arising from Quaternionic Kähler Manifolds
[Discipline] Complex Geometry
[Abstract]
In this talk, I will introduce twistor theory, which connects complex geometry, Riemannian geometry, and algebraic geometry by producing a complex manifold, called the twistor space, from a quaternionic Kähler manifold. First, I will explain why quaternionic Kähler manifolds have to be studied in view of holonomy theory in Riemannian geometry, and how twistor theory enables us to use algebraic geometry in studying their geometry. Next, based on the realization of homogeneous twistor spaces as adjoint varieties, I will present a description of the compactified spaces of conics in adjoint varieties, which is motivated by twistor theory.
