Abstract: An explicit classification of homogeneous quaternionic Kaehler structures by real tensors is derived and we relate this to the representation-theoretic description found by Fino. We then show how the quaternionic hyperbolic space HH(n) is characterised by admitting homogeneous structures of a particularly simple type. In the process we study the properties of different homogeneous models for HH(n).

Review text

The authors give an explicit classification of homogeneous quaternionic Kähler structures by real tensors and they relate this to an earlier description by A. Fino based on representation theory. Among other results, the authers prove the following theorem: A connected, simply connected, complete quaternionic Kähler manifold of dimension \(4n \geq 8\) admits a non-vanishing homogeneous Kähler structure in the class \(\mathcal{QK}_{1+2+3}\) if and only if it is the quaternionic hyperbolic space. In this case the homogeneous structure is necessarily of type \(\mathcal{QK}_{3}\).
