Quaternion-Kähler manifold
Summary
A quaternion-Kähler manifold is a Riemannian manifold of dimension whose holonomy group lies in . Locally it carries three almost complex structures that multiply like the quaternion units. Parallel transport preserves the bundle they span, but not each of them. For such manifolds are Einstein, and despite the name they are in general not Kähler. Quaternionic projective space is the basic example.
