Abstract: The main purpose of the following article is to introduce a emph{Lie theoretical} approach to the problem of classifying pseudo quaternionic-K"ahler (QK) reductions of the pseudo QK symmetric spaces, otherwise called emph{generalized Wolf spaces}.

Review text

In the paper the author, study the quaternionic Kähler (QK) reductions of the pseudo QK symmetric spaces, called generalized Wolf spaces, recently classified by D. Alekseevsky and V. Cortez. The paper begins with an introduction to (pseudo) QK geometry. The fundamental notion of diamond diagram is also described. The (generalized) Wolf spaces and their diamond diagrams are described. The author shows that the moment map for Wolf spaces \(G\slash H\) can be lifted to an \(\mathbb{R}^3\)-valued map defined on the group \(G\) of very simple form. Next, the author investigates 1-dimensional toric reductions and shows that the problem of classifying the reductions is related to the classification of adjoint orbits of the group \(G\). In particular the author applies his results to the Grassmann manifold \(\text{SO}(7)\slash \text{SO}(3)\times \text{SO}(4)\) and its dual space \(\text{SO}_0(3,4)\slash \text{SO}(3)\times \text{SO}(4)\). He classifies the adjoint orbits of the groups \(\text{SO}(7)\) and \(\text{SO}(3,4)\). In the last case the author obtains, besides the weighted deformations, many other smooth reductions.
