Singular self-dual Zollfrei metrics and twistor correspondence

Abstract: Abstract. We construct examples of singular self-dual Zollfrei metrics explicitly, by patching a pair of Petean's self-dual split-signature metrics. We prove that there is a natural one-to-one correspondence between these singular metrics and a certain set of embeddings of RP 3 to CP 3 which has one singular point. This embedding corresponds to an odd function on R that is rapidly decreasing and pure imaginary valued. The one-to-one correspondence is explicitly given by using the Radon transform.

“…The results in this article is also considered as the LeBrun-Mason theory version of the Jones-Tod reduction theory [10]. In contrast, in [19,20], the author studied the LeBrun-Mason theory version of the Dunajski-West reduction theory [2,4]. Particularly in [19], we obtain infinitely many self-dual indefinite Zollfrei conformal structures on S 2 × S 2 with singularity, and their LeBrun-Mason correspondences are established by making use of the Radon transform on R 2 .…”

“…It was shown in [56] that the EW spaces that can be put in the form (45) are precisely those possessing a shear-free twist-free geodesic congruence. Given the Toda EW space, any solution to the monopole equation will yield a (+ + −−) scalar flat Kähler metric.…”

“…On the other hand, real indefinite case, for example, admits non-analytic solutions. Recently, C. LeBrun and L. J. Mason developed another type of twistor theory by which we can also treat such non-analytic solutions [9,10] (see also [11,12]). The structures investigated by LeBrun and Mason are (LM 1) Zoll projective structures on S 2 or S 2 /Z 2 , and (LM 2) self-dual conformal structures of signature (+ + −−) on S 2 × S 2 or (S 2 × S 2 )/Z 2 .…”
