Isotropic Killing Vector Fields and Related Structures on Complex Surfaces

Explore a comprehensive lecture on isotropic Killing vector fields and their related structures on complex surfaces. Delve into the intricacies of 4-dimensional vector spaces with metric signatures (2,2) and discover how two isotropic vectors spanning an isotropic plane determine a canonical action of split quaternions. Examine the integrability of induced almost para-hypercomplex structures on oriented manifolds with two isotropic Killing vector fields. Investigate the geometric structures of underlying complex surfaces, including indefinite analogs of bihermitian structures and twistor space construction. Learn about the topology of compact 4-manifolds with such fields and structures based on the classification of compact complex surfaces. Discuss the relationship between these results and other geometric properties of split-signature 4-manifolds, and explore examples of para-hyperhermitian structures with two null Killing vector fields on various manifolds.
