A class of Osserman spaces (Q556157)

In the paper under review the authors prove that a symmetric space is an Osserman space if its complexification is a complex hyper-Kähler symmetric space. This includes all pseudo-hyper-Kähler as well as para-hyper-Kähler symmetric spaces. The authors extend the classification of pseudo-hyper-Kähler symmetric spaces obtained by \textit{D. V. Alekseevsky} and \textit{V. Cortés} [Asian J. Math. 5, No. 4, 663--684 (2001; Zbl 1021.53025)] to the class of para-hyper-Kähler symmetric spaces. These manifolds are possible targets for the scalars of rigid \(N= 2\) supersymmetric field theories with hypermultiplets on four-dimensional space-times with Euclidean signature.
