Twistor holomorphic affine surfaces and projective invariants

Abstract

We study affine immersions with twistor lifts. Using a decomposition of a connection, we obtain several projective invariants for such affine immersions. In particular, affine immersions with holomorphic twistor lifts are considered. We can show the property that an affine immersion has holomorphic twistor lifts is invariant under projective transformations and characterize immersions with holomorphic twistor lifts by vanishing of some of projective invariants. In the case of compact affine surfaces with holomorphic twistor lifts, we see a quantization phenomenon for one of the projective invariants which we obtain. Moreover, we prove that a real analytic twistor holomorphic affine surface with the symmetric Ricci tensor with respect to both complex structures is totally geodesic or totally umbilic.
