On the quaternionic manifolds whose twistor spaces are Fano manifolds

Abstract: Let

M

be a quaternionic manifold,

d i m M = 4 k

, whose twistor space is a Fano manifold. We prove the following: (a)

M

admits a reduction to

S p (1) i m e s G L (k, H)

if and only if

M = H P^{k}

, (b) either

b_{2} (M) = 0

or

M = G r_{2} (k + 2, C)

. This generalizes results of S. Salamon and C.R. LeBrun, respectively, who obtained the same conclusions under the assumption that

M

is a complete quaternionic-Kaehler manifold with positive scalar curvature.
