Review text

In [Adv. Math. 228, No. 2, 940--967 (2011; Zbl 1231.53042)] \textit{A. Moroianu} and \textit{U. Semmelmann} defined the rank-\(r\) even Clifford structures and they obtained the classification of such manifolds with certain structures; parallel even Clifford structures, manifolds with bundle-like metric. It is well known that for rank \(r=2\) or 3, even Clifford structures are equivalent to almost-Hermitian and almost quaternion-Hermitian structures respectively which become Kähler and quaternion-Kähler manifolds if they are parallel. There exists a diamond shape diagram for the quaternion-Kähler manifolds associated with the Salamon twistor space \(\mathcal{Z}\), the 3-Sasakian manifold \(\mathcal{S}\), and the Swann bundle \(\mathcal{U}\). The authors ask whether this can be generalized to higher-rank even Clifford manifolds. In [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 51, No. 1, 11--20 (2017; Zbl 1360.53054)], the first author and \textit{C. Hadfield} defined the twistor spaces \(\mathcal{Z}\) of an even Clifford manifolds for rank \(r\geq 4\) and they proved that \(\mathcal{Z}\) becomes Kähler under certain conditions. In this paper, the authors prove that this Kähler metric on \(\mathcal{Z}\) is also Einstein and they construct a similar diamond shape diagram involving three spaces \(\mathcal{Z}\), \(\mathcal{U}\) and \(\mathcal{S}\) with various fibrations on them. At the end of this paper, they provide an example of a 16-dimensional Riemannian manifold carrying an even Clifford structure of rank \(r\geq 5\).
