    I’ve created a page for quaternionic manifolds, linked from quaternion-Kähler page. Basic references and discussion of main definition re Cauchy-Feuter calculus. Comparison to hypercomplex structure.

    Thanks! And I have added now the link going the other way, too.

    Might you have energy to add a sentence putting the two in relation?

    Great idea, I’ve added a comment connecting their notations and a statement of why quaternionic-Kähler manifolds are indeed quaternionic.

    Thanks!

    I gave the discussion of “qK is q” a numbered Example-environment (here) and placed that inside an Examples section.

    Also, I created a Properties-section and made your two stub sections “Holonomy” and “Twistor space” be subsections of that.

    By the way, I would tend to make your “Discussion”-subsection be a numbered Remark inside the “Definition”-section instead.

    (I find it helpful to think in terms of textbook organization: There we would rarely make a comment on a definition be its own subsection.)

    Thanks Urs. And agreed, that is much more natural. I’m paying attention to the changes you’ve been making as I add material; as I learn more itex + markdown and nLab style I can follow suit.

    Added more classical and a few specialty references, including Bonan’s seminal paper.
