Abstract: We consider manifolds equipped with a foliation $calF$ of codimension $4q$, and an almost quaternionic structure $Q$ on the transversal bundle of $calF$. After discussing conditions of projectability and integrability of $Q$, we study the transversal twistor space $ZcalF$ which, by definition, consists of the $Q$-compatible almost complex structures. We show that $ZcalF$ can be endowed with a lifted foliation $hatcalF$ and two natural almost complex structures $J_1$, $J_2$ on the transversal bundle of $hatcalF$. We establish the conditions which ensure the projectability of $J_1$ and $J_2$, and the integrability of $J_1$ ($J_2$ is never integrable).

Review text

The authors consider manifolds equipped with a foliation \({\mathcal F}\) of codimension \(4q\), and an almost quaternionic structure \(Q\) on the transversal bundle \(\nu{\mathcal F}\). After discussing conditions of projectability and integrability of \(Q\), they study the transversal twistor space \(Z{\mathcal F}\) which, by definition, consists of the \(Q\)-compatible almost complex structures. They also show that \(Z{\mathcal F}\) can be endowed with a lifted foliation \(\widehat{\mathcal F}\) and two natural almost complex structures \(J_1,\;J_2\) on the transversal bundle of \(\widehat{\mathcal F}\). The conditions which ensure the projectability of \(J_1\) and \(J_2\), and the integrability of \(J_1\) (\(J_2\) is never integrable) are established.
