The twistor fibration (Atyiah-Hitchin-Singer 78, Ex. 2 on p. 438, Atiyah 79, Sec. III.1, see also Bryant 82, ArmstrongSalamon14, ABS 19), also called, in its coset space-version , the Calabi-Penrose fibration (apparently starting with Lawson 85, Sec. 3, see also, e.g., Loo 89, Seade-Verjovsky 03, 3 for this usage, see Nordstrom 08, Lemma 2.31 for review of Calabi’s construction Calabi 67, Calabi 68) is a fiber bundle-structure on complex projective 3-space over the 4-sphere with 2-sphere (Riemann sphere) fibers:
If one identifies the 4-sphere as the quaternionic projective line , then the fibration here is given by sending complex lines to the quaternionic lines which they span (Atiyah 79, III (1.1), see also Seade-Verjovsky 03, p. 198):
for any .
It is possible to define a twistor fibration over each , where the resulting manifold is a complex manifold endowed with a holomorphic? -plane field transverse to the fibers of the mapping. Namely, writing , then, using the inclusion , one has the coset fibration
The manifold canonically has the structure of a complex manifold and is known as the twistor space of .
There are generalizations of this picture for each of the so-called ‘inner’ symmetric spaces where is the fixed subgroup of an involution that is an inner automorphism of . The twistor fibration is of the form where is a subgroup such that (the typical fiber of the fibration) is an Hermitian symmetric space. There are also other kinds of twistor spaces over that are flag manifolds of the form where is a maximal torus. (For these generalizations see Bryant 85.)
