Abstract: We initiate the study of the generalized quaternionic manifolds by classifying the generalized quaternionic vector spaces, and by giving two classes of nonclassical examples of such manifolds. Thus, we show that any complex symplectic manifold is endowed with a natural (nonclassical) generalized quaternionic structure, and the same applies to the heaven space of any three-dimensional Einstein-Weyl space. In particular, on the product $Z$ of any complex symplectic manifold $M$ and the sphere there exists a natural generalized complex structure, with respect to which $Z$ is the twistor space of $M$.

Review text

The author introduces a notion of generalized quaternionic manifold in the spirit of generalized complex geometry of Gualtieri and Hitchin. In the paper, linear generalized quaternionic structures on vector spaces are mainly studied. The point of view is that of CR quaternionic and co-CR quaternionic geometry and the corresponding twistor theory [\textit{S. Marchiafava} et al., Monatsh. Math. 167, No. 3--4, 531--545 (2012; Zbl 1254.53080); Isr. J. Math. 195, Part A, 347--371 (2013; Zbl 1281.53051)]. The main result characterizes every generalized quaternionic linear structure as a product of a generalized quaternionic vector space and a finite family of complex symplectic vector spaces. The author also gives some examples of nonclassical examples of generalized quaternionic manifolds.
