Abstract: Methods of parabolic geometries have been recently used to construct a class of elliptic complexes on quaternionic manifolds, the Salamon's complex being the simplest case. The purpose of this paper is to describe an algorithm how to compute their analytical indices in terms of characteristic classes. Using this, we are able to derive some topological obstructions to existence of quaternionic structures on manifolds.

Review text

The author studies the differential operators which are intrinsic to quaternionic manifolds and the topology of such manifolds. The main tool used is a version of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem for elliptic complexes associated to a G-structure.
