Euclidean reality structure on twistor space

ID: euclidean-reality-structure-on-twistor-space

Choose an antilinear quaternionic structure on . It induces a fixed-point-free involution on projective twistor space. A real Euclidean spacetime point is a -invariant complex two-plane, equivalently a quaternionic line in . These form , the conformal compactification of Euclidean space. Every projective twistor lies on the unique invariant line , giving a fibration with fiber .
