Non-algebraicity of Deligne--Hitchin twistor spaces

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: In this paper, we prove that on a smooth complex projective curve of positive genus, the Deligne--Hitchin twistor spaces for the structure groups $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})\ (n\geq1)$ and $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})\ (n\geq2)$ admit no algebraization by a complex scheme locally of finite type. When the genus is at least two, the same holds for their stable loci and hence for the corresponding Hitchin twistor spaces. Nevertheless, the Deligne--Hitchin twistor spaces admit $\mathbb{R}_{\mathrm{alg}}$-definable complex analytic structures when the rank or the genus is one.
