Symplectic twistor spaces (Q5903477)

Let (M,\(\omega)\) be an almost symplectic manifold and \({\mathcal T}(M,\omega)\) its symplectic twistor space, i.e. the bundle of the compatible complex structures of its tangent spaces, as considered by \textit{M. Dubois-Violette} [Mathématique et physique, Sémin. Éc. Norm. Supér., Paris 1979-1982, Prog. Math. 37, 1-42 (1983; Zbl 0522.53029)], \textit{L. Bérard-Bergery} and \textit{T. Ochiai} [Global Riemannian geometry, Proc. Symp., Durham/Engl. 1982, 52-59 (1984) and ibid. 85-92 (1984; Zbl 0615.53036)] and \textit{N. R. O'Brian} and \textit{J. H. Rawnsley} [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 3, 29-58 (1985; Zbl 0526.53057)]. The main results in the paper show that \({\mathcal T}(M,\omega)\) has an either integrable or almost Kähler structure if and only if M is locally symplectic flat. Applications are given to the study of the differential forms on M and of the mappings \(\phi\) : \(N\to M\), where N is a Kähler manifold.
