Examples of Self-dual, Einstein metrics of $(2,2)$-signature

Abstract

In this paper we construct a family of examples of self-dual Einstain metrics of neutral signature, which are not Ricci flat, nor locally homogenous. Curvature of these manifolds is studied in details. These are obtained by the para-quaternionic reduction. We compare our examples with the orbifolds $\oo$ given by Galicki and Lawson, for which some new properties are also established. Particularly, the sign and the pinching of their sectional curvatures are studied.
