Abstract
AbstractWe present a geometric construction and characterization of 2n-dimensional split-signature conformal structures endowed with a twistor spinor with integrable kernel. The construction is regarded as a modification of the conformal Patterson–Walker metric construction for n-dimensional projective manifolds. The characterization is presented in terms of the twistor spinor and an integrability condition on the conformal Weyl curvature. We further derive a complete description of Einstein metrics and infinitesimal conformal symmetries in terms of suitable projective data. Finally, we obtain an explicit geometrically constructed Fefferman–Graham ambient metric and show the vanishing of the Q-curvature.
