Abstract
Let be an almost Hermitian manifold. Given an automorphism , the existing structure can be twisted to obtain a new almost Hermitian manifold . In the current paper, we study these -twisted almost Hermitian structures with particular emphasis on questions regarding the integrability of and the Riemannian geometry of . By studying the latter, we identity a certain class of with nice transformation properties. We call these automorphisms -\textit{Codazzi maps} because of their close relationship with Codazzi tensors. The aforementioned results are ultimately applied to the standard nearly K\"{a}hler structure on the -sphere where we prove a nonintegrability result for the class of -Codazzi maps.
