Abstract: A global twistor correspondence is established for neutral self-dual conformal structures with alpha-surface foliation when the structure is close to the standard structure on S^2 times S^2. We need to introduce some singularity for the alpha-surface foliation such that the leaves intersect on a fixed two sphere. In this correspondence, we prove that a natural double fibration is induced on some quotient spaces which is equal to the standard double fibration for the standard Zoll projective structure. We also give a local general forms of neutral self-dual metrics with alpha-surface foliation.

Review text

The author studies the twistor correspondence for neutral self dual conformal structures with \(\alpha\)-surface foliation which are close to the standard structure on \(S^2\times S^2\). He describes a class of neutral self-dual Zollfrei conformal structures with an \(\alpha\)-surface foliation and proves that there is a one-to-one correspondence between their equivalence classes and equivalence classes of totally real embeddings \(i:\mathbb{RP}^3\rightarrow\mathbb{CP}^3\) which are close to the standard structures. The projective structure obtained on the leave space is the standard Zoll projective structure. The local general forms of neutral self-dual metrics with \(\alpha\)-surface foliation is given. The result is similar to that of Mason and LeBrun.
