We study almost complex structures with lower bounds on the rank of the Nijenhuis tensor. Namely, we show that they satisfy an $h$-principle. As a consequence, all parallelizable manifolds and all manifolds of dimension $2n\geq 10$…

We first notice in this article that if a compact K\"{a}hler manifold has the same integral cohomology ring and Pontrjagin classes as the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^n$, then it is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}P^n$ provided $n$ is…

We give several explicit examples of compact manifolds with a $1$-parameter family of almost complex structures having arbitrarily small Nijenhuis tensor in the $C^0$-norm. The $4$-dimensional examples possess no complex structure, whereas…

We show that the only rational homology spheres which can admit almost complex structures occur in dimensions two and six. Moreover, we provide infinitely many examples of six-dimensional rational homology spheres which admit almost complex…

We prove that any quasitoric manifold $M^{2n}$ admits a $T^n$-invariant almost complex structure if and only if $M$ admits a positive omniorientation. In particular, we show that all obstructions to existence of $T^n$-invariant almost…

We show that many spin 6-manifolds have the homotopy type but not the homeomorphism type of a Kaehler manifold. Moreover, for given Betti numbers, there are only finitely many deformation types and hence topological types of smooth complex…

In this paper we review the well-known fact that the only spheres admitting an almost complex structure are S^2 and S^6. The proof described here uses characteristic classes and the Bott periodicity theorem in topological K-theory. This…

We classify six-dimensional homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifolds and give a positive answer to Gray and Wolf's conjecture: every homogeneous nearly K\"{a}hler manifold is a Riemannian 3-symmetric space equipped with its canonical almost…

An \emph{$\omega$-admissible almost complex structure} on a $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is a $\omega$-calibrated almost complex structure $J$ admitting a nowhere vanishing $\bar{\partial}_J$-closed $(n,0)$-form $\psi$.…

We construct examples of nonresolvable generalized $n$-manifolds, $n\geq 6$, with arbitrary resolution obstruction, homotopy equivalent to any simply connected, closed $n$-manifold. We further investigate the structure of generalized…

Let $M^{2n}$ be a closed smooth manifold homotopy equivalent to the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P(n)$. The purpose of this paper is to show that when $n$ is even, the difference of the first Pontrjagin classes between $M^{2n}$ and…

It is an old conjecture, that finite $H$-spaces are homotopy equivalent to manifolds. Here we prove that this conjecture is true for loop spaces. Actually, we show that every quasi finite loop space is equivalent to a stably parallelizable…
