Twistor Bundle of a Neutral Kähler Surface

Abstract

In this paper, we characterize neutral Kähler surfaces in terms of their positive twistor bundle. We prove that an O+,+(2,2)-oriented four-dimensional neutral semi-Riemannian manifold (M,g) admits a complex structure J with ΩJ∈⋀−M, such that (M,g,J) is a neutral-Kähler manifold if and only if the twistor bundle (Z1(M),gc) admits a vertical Killing vector field.
