Abstract

Let GG be a complex semi-simple Lie group and form its maximal flag manifold F=G/P=U/T\mathbb{F}=G/P=U/T where PP is a minimal parabolic subgroup, UU a compact real form and T=UPT=U\cap P a maximal torus of UU. The aim of this paper is to study invariant generalized complex structures on F\mathbb{F}. We describe the invariant generalized almost complex structures on F\mathbb{F} and classify which one is integrable. The problem reduces to the study of invariant 44-dimensional generalized almost complex structures restricted to each root space, and for integrability we analyse the Nijenhuis operator for a triple of roots such that its sum is zero. We also conducted a study about twisted generalized complex structures. We define a new bracket `twisted' by a closed 33-form Ω\Omega and also define the Nijenhuis operator twisted by Ω\Omega . We classify the Ω\Omega -integrable generalized complex structure.
