In some other context, the question was raised how many nearly K\"ahler structures exist on the sphere $\S^6$ equipped with the standard Riemannian metric. In this short note, we prove that, up to isometry, there exists only one. This is a…

It is shown that if $X$ is an Inoue surface of type $S_M$ then the irreducible components of the Douady space of $X^n$ are compact, for all $n>0$. This gives an example of an essentially saturated compact complex manifold (in the sense of…

The twistor construction is applied for obtaining examples of generalized complex structures (in the sense of N. Hitchin) that are not induced by a complex or a symplectic structure.

A compact solvmanifold of completely solvable type, i.e. a compact quotient of a completely solvable Lie group by a lattice, has a K\"ahler structure if and only if it is a complex torus. We show more in general that a compact solvmanifold…

We show that any $(\C ^*)^n$-invariant stably complex structure on a topological toric manifold of dimension $2n$ is integrable. We also show that such a manifold is weakly $(\C ^*)^n$-equivariantly isomorphic to a toric manifold.

In this paper, we examine how topological complexity, simplicial complexity, discrete topological complexity, and combinatorial complexity compare when applied to models of $S^1$. We prove that the topological complexity of non-minimal…

The transversal twistor space of a foliation F of an even codimension is the bundle ZF of the complex structures of the fibers of the transversal bundle of F. On ZF, there exists a foliation F' by covering spaces of the leaves of F, and any…

Integrable Killing tensors are used to classify orthogonal coordinates in which the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be solved by a separation of variables. We completely solve the Nijenhuis integrability conditions for Killing…

Let $(M,J)$ be a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$. A $p$-K\"ahler structure on $(M,J)$ is a real, closed $(p,p)$-transverse form. In this paper, we address the conjecture of L. Alessandrini and G. Bassanelli on $(n-2)$-K\"ahler…

The first example of a compact manifold admitting both complex and symplectic structures but not admitting a K\"ahler structure is the renowned Kodaira-Thurston manifold. We review its construction and show that this paradigm is very…

By a theorem of Kirchhoff if the six sphere admits an almost complex structure then the seven sphere is parallelizable, more crucial, he exhibited an explicit global frame constructed out of the given almost complex structure. This result…

We construct a full exceptional Lefschetz collection on the spinor 15-fold consisting of a connected component of the space of orthogonal 6-dimensional subspaces of a 12-dimensional complex vector space, isotropic with respect of a fixed…

We develop various properties of symmetric generalized complex structures (in connection with their holomorphic space and B-field transformations), which are analogous to the well-known results of Gualtieri on skew-symmetric generalized…

We extend the characterization of the integrability of an almost complex structure $J$ on differentiable manifolds via the vanishing of the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket $[J, J] ^{FN}$ to an analogous characterization of torsion-free…

Given a complex manifold S, we introduce for each complex manifold X a t-structure on the bounded derived category of C-constructible complexes of O_S-modules on X x S. We prove that the de Rham complex of a holonomic D_{XxS/S}-module which…

Let E be a transitive Courant algebroid with scalar product of neutral signature. A generalized almost complex structure \mathcal J on E is a skew-symmetric smooth field of endomorphisms of E which squares to minus the identity. We say that…

A $p$-K\"ahler structure on a complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ is given by a $d$-closed transverse real $(p,p)$-form. In the paper we study the existence of $p$-K\"ahler structures on compact quotients of simply connected Lie…

We study two problems concerning the Stiefel manifolds $V_{n,2}$ and their products with spheres. First, we address a rigidity problem: we determine, for most values of~$n$, all self-maps of $V_{n,2}$ that are homotopic to an almost…

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 classify the Hamiltonians $H=p_x^2+p_y^2+V(x,y)$ of all classical superintegrable systems in two dimensional complex Euclidean space with second-order constants of the motion. We similarly classify the superintegrable Hamiltonians…
