Homogeneous almost complex structures in dimension 6 with semi-simple isotropy

We classify invariant almost complex structures on homogeneous manifolds of dimension 6 with semi-simple isotropy. Those with non-degenerate Nijenhuis tensor have the automorphism group of dimension either 14 or 9. An invariant almost complex structure with semi-simple isotropy is necessarily either of specified 6 homogeneous types or a left-invariant structure on a Lie group. For integrable invariant almost complex structures we classify all compatible invariant Hermitian structures on these homogeneous manifolds, indicate their integrability properties (Kähler, SNK, SKT) and mark the other interesting geometric properties (including the Gray-Hervella type).     

Pluri-polarity in almost complex structures

J-Holomorphic curves are −∞ sets of J-plurisubharmonic functions, with a singularity of LogLog type, but it is shown that in general they are not −∞ sets of J-plurisubharmonic functions with Logarithmic singularity (i.e. non-zero Lelong number). Some few additional remarks on pluripolarity in almost complex structures are made.

Using the notions of the horizontal and vertical lifts, a class of almost complex structures $\widetilde J$ is defined on the tangent bundle $T\!M$, and necessary and sufficient conditions for such a structure to be integrable (complex) are described. Next, a class of pseudo-Riemannian metrics $\widetilde g$ of Norden type is defined on $T\!M$, for which $\widetilde J$ is an antiisometry. Thus, the pair $(\widetilde J,\widetilde g)$ becomes an almost complex structure with Norden metric on $T\!M$. It is checked whether the structure $(\widetilde J,\widetilde g)$ is K\&quot;ahler--Norden itself.     

Compatible complex structures on almost quaternionic manifolds

On an almost quaternionic manifold we study the integrability of almost complex structures which are compatible with the almost quaternionic structure . If , we prove that the existence of two compatible complex structures forces to be quaternionic. If , that is is an oriented conformal 4-manifold, we prove a maximum principle for the angle function of two compatible complex structures and deduce an application to anti-self-dual manifolds. By considering the special class of Oproiu connections we prove the existence of a well defined almost complex structure on the twistor space of an almost quaternionic manifold and show that is a complex structure if and only if is quaternionic. This is a natural generalization of the Penrose twistor constructions.

     

Integrability of rough almost complex structures

We extend the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem to manifolds with almost complex structures that have somewhat less than Lipschitz regularity. We also discuss the regularity of local holomorphic coordinates in the integrable case, with particular attention to Lipschitz almost complex structures.     

Embedded surfaces and almost complex structures

In this paper, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in a smooth 4-manifold to be pseudoholomorphic with respect to an almost complex structure on . In particular, this provides a systematic approach to the construction of pseudoholomorphic curves that do not minimize the genus in their homology class.

A new class of almost complex structures

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of almost complex structures J on a Riemannian manifold M by using a certain identity for the relationship between the tensor F _i ^j of J and the Riemann curvature tensor R _hijk of M. This class contains the Kählerian structures, and its relationship with some known classes of almost Hermitian structures defined by similar identities is discussed. For convenience we call each structure of this new class an almost C-structure, and a manifold with an almost C-structure an almost C-manifold. We obtain an analogue of F. Schur's theorem concerning the holomorphic sectional curvature of an almost Hermitian C-manifold, and some sufficient conditions for an almost Hermitian C-manifold to be Kählerian. We show that these results are also true for a manifold with a complex structure.     

Stably and almost complex structures on bounded flag manifolds

We study the enumeration problem of stably complex structures on bounded flag manifolds arising from omniorientations, and determine those induced by almost complex structures. We also enumerate the stably complex structures on these manifolds which bound, therefore representing zero in the complex cobordism ring .

Spin(9) and almost complex structures on 16-dimensional manifolds

For a Spin(9)-structure on a Riemannian manifold M ¹⁶ we write explicitly the matrix ψ of its Kähler 2-forms and the canonical 8-form Φ_Spin(9). We then prove that Φ_Spin(9) coincides up to a constant with the fourth coefficient of the characteristic polynomial of ψ. This is inspired by lower dimensional situations, related to Hopf fibrations and to Spin(7). As applications, formulas are deduced for Pontrjagin classes and integrals of Φ_Spin(9) and \({\Phi_{\rm Spin(9)}^2}\) in the special case of holonomy Spin(9).     

Integrable almost complex structures in principal bundles and holomorphic curves

We consider almost complex structures that arise naturally in a particular class of principal fibre bundles, where the choice of a connection can be used to determine equivariant isomorphisms between the vertical and horizontal tangent bundles of the total space. For instance, such data always exist on the frame bundle of a 3-manifold, but also in many other situations. We study the integrability condition to a complex structure, obtaining a system of gauge invariant coupled first order partial differential equations. This yields to a few correspondences between complex-geometric properties on the total space and metric properties on the base.     

On almost complex structures which are not compatible with symplectic forms

In this Note we prove that the underlying almost complex structure to a non-Kähler almost Hermitian structure admitting a compatible connection with skew-symmetric torsion cannot be calibrated by a symplectic form even locally.     

Semiintegrable almost Grassmann structures

In the present paper we study locally semiflat (we also call them semiintegrable) almost Grassmann structures. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for an almost Grassmann structure to be - or β-semiintegrable. These conditions are expressed in terms of the fundamental tensors of almost Grassmann structures. Since we are not able to prove the existence of locally semiflat almost Grassmann structures in the general case, we give many examples of - and β-semiintegrable structures, mostly four-dimensional. For all examples we find systems of differential equations of the families of integral submanifolds V and V_β of the distributions Δ and Δ_β of plane elements associated with an almost Grassmann structure. For some examples we were able to integrate these systems and find closed form equations of submanifolds V and V_β.     

Lelong functional on almost complex manifolds

We establish plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of Lelong functional on almost complex manifolds of real dimension four, thereby we generalize the corresponding result for complex manifolds.     

Extension formulae on almost complex manifolds

We give the extension formulae on almost complex manifolds and give decompositions of the extension formulae.As applications,we study(n,0)-forms,the(n,0)-Dolbeault cohomology group and(n,q)-forms on almost complex manifolds.     

Invariant almost Hermitian structures on flag manifolds

Let G be a complex semi-simple Lie group and form its maximal flag manifold where P is a minimal parabolic (Borel) subgroup, U a compact real form and T=U∩P a maximal torus of U. We study U-invariant almost Hermitian structures on . The (1,2)-symplectic (or quasi-Kähler) structures are naturally related to the affine Weyl groups. A special form for them, involving abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra, is derived. From the (1,2)-symplectic structures a classification of the whole set of invariant structures is provided showing, in particular, that nearly Kähler invariant structures are Kähler, except in the A₂ case.
