Abstract: We find a necessary condition for the existence of an action of a Lie group

G

by quaternionic automorphisms on an integrable quaternionic manifold in terms of representations of

m a t h f r a k g

. We check this condition and prove that a Riemannian symmetric space of dimension

4 n

for

n g e q 2

has an invariant integrable almost quaternionic structure if and only if it is quaternionic vector space, quaternionic hyperbolic space or quaternionic projective space.

Review text

The author studies \(G\)-homogeneous spaces \(M^{4n}=G/H\) with a \(G\)-invariant almost quaternionic structure. A Riemannian manifold \(M\) of dimension \(4n\) with \(n \ge 2\) is quaternion-Kähler if its holonomy group is contained in \(\mathrm{Sp}(n) \cdot \mathrm{Sp}(1)\). A quaternion-Kähler symmetric space is a Riemannian symmetric space that is quaternion-Kähler. The author proves that a quaternion-Kähler symmetric space is integrable if and only if it is a quaternionic vector space \(\mathbb{H}^n\), a quaternionic hyperbolic space \(H^n_{\mathbb{H}}\) or a quaternionic projective space \(\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{H}^{n+1})\).
