Abstract As in the case of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds, the period domain Compl of compact complex tori of even dimension 2n contains twistor lines. These are special 2spheres parametrizing complex tori whose complex structures arise from a given quaternionic structure. In analogy with the case of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds, we show that the periods of any two complex tori can be joined by a generic chain of twistor lines. We also prove a criterion of twistor path connectivity of loci in Compl where a fixed second cohomology class stays of Hodge type (1,1). Furthermore, we show that twistor lines are holomorphic submanifolds of Compl, of degree 2n in the Plücker embedding of Compl.

1 Introduction Let M be a Riemannian manifold of real dimension 4m with metric g. Then M is called hyperkähler with respect to g (see [7, p. 548]) if there exist complex structures I , J and K on M, such that I , J , K are covariantly constant and are isometries of the tangent bundle T M with respect to g, satisfying the quaternionic relations I 2 = J 2 = K 2 = −1,

I J = −J I = K .

We call the ordered triple (I , J , K ) a hyperkähler structure on M compatible with g. A hyperkähler structure (I , J , K ) gives rise to a sphere S 2 of complex structures on M: S 2 = {a I + b J + cK |a 2 + b2 + c2 = 1}.

We call the family M = {(M, λ)|λ ∈ S 2 } → S 2 a twistor family over the twistor sphere The family M can be endowed with a complex structure, so that it becomes a complex manifold and the fiber Mλ is biholomorphic to the complex manifold (M, λ), see [7, p. 554]. For every λ = a I + b J + cK ∈ S 2 , the closed alternating form g(λ·, ·) determines a Kähler class in H 1,1 ((M, λ), R). The known examples of compact hyperkähler manifolds are even-dimensional complex tori and irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds (IHS manifolds). We recall that an IHS manifold is a simply connected compact Kähler manifold M with H 0 (M, 2M ) generated by an everywhere non-degenerate holomorphic 2-form. Examples of IHS manifolds include K 3 surfaces and, more generally, Hilbert schemes of points on K 3 surfaces, generalized Kummer varieties. For IHS manifolds and complex tori there exist well-defined period domains, carrying the structure of a complex manifold. Every twistor family M determines an embedding of the base S 2 into the corresponding period domain as a 1-dimensional complex submanifold (for IHS manifolds this is k
