Generalisations of Rozansky–Witten invariants

Justin Roberts and Justin Sawon

Geometry & Topology Monographs 4 (2002) 263–279

DOI: 10.2140/gtm.2002.4.263

Abstract

We survey briefly the definition of the Rozansky–Witten invariants, and review their relevance to the study of compact hyperkähler manifolds. We consider how various generalisations of the invariants might prove useful for the study of non-compact hyperkähler manifolds, of quaternionic Kähler manifolds, and of relations between hyperkähler manifolds and Lie algebras. The paper concludes with a list of additional problems.

Keywords

hyperkähler manifold, quaternion–Kähler manifold
