This article reveals a significant connection in geometry: when the Lee form $\theta$ is normal to an almost Hermitian manifold $N$, it implies that $N$ possesses a nearly K\"ahler structure. Investigating locally conformally Spin(7)…

Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $\eta$ a closed, positive (1,1)-form which is degenerate everywhere on $M$. We associate to $\eta$ a family of complex structures on $M$, called a degenerate twistor family, and parametrized by a…

We study almost complex structures on parallelizable manifolds via the rank of their Nijenhuis tensor. First, we show how the computations of such rank can be reduced to finding smooth functions on the underlying manifold solving a system…

In this note we first characterize Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis structures on three-dimensional oriented manifolds whose underlying Poisson tensor never vanishes. We then apply this result to show that each of these structures is (locally) a…

For an almost complex structure $J$ in dimension 6 with nondegenerate Nijenhuis tensor $N_J$, the automorphism group $G=Aut(J)$ of maximal dimension is the exceptional Lie group $G_2$. In this paper we establish that the sub-maximal…

If $W_+$ denotes the self dual part of the Weyl tensor of any K\"ahler 4-manifold and $S$ its scalar curvature, then the relation $|W_+|^2 = S^2/6$ is well-known. For any almost K\"ahler 4-manifold with $S \ge 0$, this condition forces the…

We review the theory of quaternionic Kahler and hyperkahler structures. Then we consider the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold M with a metric connection D (with torsion) and with its well estabilished canonical complex structure.…

We investigate the integrability of almost complex structures on the twistor space of an almost quaternionic manifold constructed with the help of a quaternionic connection. We show that if there is an integrable structure it is independent…

Almost paracontact manifolds of an odd dimension having an almost paracomplex structure on the paracontact distribution are studied. The components of the fundamental (0,3)-tensor, derived by the covariant derivative of the structure…

Let $(M,I,J,K)$ be a hyperkahler manifold, and $Z\subset (M,I)$ a complex subvariety in $(M,I)$. We say that $Z$ is trianalytic if it is complex analytic with respect to $J$ and $K$, and absolutely trianalytic if it is trianalytic with…

In this paper we look at the question of integrability, or not, of the two natural almost complex structures $J^{\pm}_\nabla$ defined on the twistor space $J(M,g)$ of an even-dimensional manifold $M$ with additional structures $g$ and…

We study almost Hermitian structures admitting a Hermitian connexion with totally skew-symmetric torsion or equivalently, those almost Hermitian structures with totally skew-symmetric Nijenhuis tensor. We investigate up to what extent the…

For an almost contact metric manifold $N$, we find conditions for which either the total space of an $S^1$-bundle over $N$ or the Riemannian cone over $N$ admits a strong K\"ahler with torsion (SKT) structure. In this way we construct new…

We calculate the Chern classes and Chern numbers for the natural almost Hermitian structures of the partial flag manifolds F_n=SU(n+2)/S(U(n)\times U(1)\times U(1)). For all n>1 there are two invariant complex algebraic structures, which…

A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ is called {\em astheno-K\"ahler} if its fundamental $2$-form $F$ satisfies the condition $\partial \overline \partial F^{n - 2} =0$. If $n =3$, then the metric is {\em strong…

Equipping the tangent bundle TQ of a manifold with a symplectic form coming from a regular Lagrangian L, we explore how to obtain a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure from a given type (1,1) tensor field J on Q. It is argued that the complete lift…

Let M be an almost complex manifold equipped with a Hermitian form such that its de Rham differential has Hodge type (3,0)+(0,3), for example a nearly Kahler manifold. We prove that any connected component of the moduli space of…

A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M, equipped with an additional tensor structure S, whose fourth power is minus identity, is considered. The structure S has a skew-circulant matrix with respect to some basis of the tangent space at a…
