Abstract: In this paper we continue our study of the fourth order transgression on hyper"ahler manifolds introduced in the previous paper. We give a local construction for the fourth-order transgression of the Chern character form of an arbitrary vector bundle supplied with a self-dual connection on a four dimensional hyperk"ahler manifold. The construction is based on the harmonic twistor formalism. Remarkably, the resulted expression for the fourth order transgression is given in terms of the determinant of the $$-operator defined on fibers of the twistor fibration.

Review text

The authors give a local construction of the fourth-order transgression of the Chern character form of an arbitrary vector bundle endowed with a self-dual connection, on a four-dimensional hyper-Kähler manifold. Their construction is based upon the harmonic twistor formalism. They show that the resulting expression is remarkably given in terms of the determinant of the \(\bar{\partial}\)-operator defined on fibers of the twistor fibration.
