Abstract
Let M be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a pseudo-Hermitian complex structure . We give necessary and sufficient conditions that the curvature operator is complex linear when is a invariant real 2 plane. Under this assumption, we study when M is complex IP - i.e. the spectrum, or more generally the Jordan normal form, of is constant on the Grassmannian of complex spacelike or timelike lines. Methods from algebraic topology are used to obtain restrictions on the spectrum of a complex IP algebraic curvature tensor.
