Review text

It was proved by \textit{S. Salamon} [Invent. Math. 67, 143-171 (1982; Zbl 0486.53048)] that the twistor space of a positive quaternion Kähler manifold carries a Kähler-Einstein metric with positive scalar curvature and a complex contact structure. The converse was proved by \textit{C. LeBrun} [Int. J. Math. 6, 419-437 (1995; Zbl 0835.53055)]: manifolds with both a Kähler-Einstein metric with positive scalar curvature and a complex contact structure arise only as twistor spaces of positive quaternion Kähler manifolds. The proof relies heavily on algebraic geometry methods. The same result is proved in this note by using completely different methods which proved to be fruitful also in the author's previous papers on the classification of Killing spinors and the relations between \(3\)-Sasakian and quaternion Kähler geometries.
