Torsion in Almost Kähler Geometry *
نویسنده
چکیده
We study almost Kähler manifolds whose curvature tensor satisfies the second curvature condition of Gray (shortly AK 2). This condition is interpreted in terms of the first canonical Hermitian connection. It turns out that this condition forces the torsion of this connection to be parallel in directions orthogonal to the Kähler nullity of the almost complex structure. We prove a local structure result for AK 2 manifolds, showing that the basic pieces are manifolds with parallel tor-sion and special almost Kähler manifolds, a class generalizing, to some algebraic extent, the class of 4-dimensional AK 2-manifolds. In the case of parallel torsion, the Einstein condition and the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian connection is studied.

An intrinsic volume functional on almost complex 6-manifolds and nearly Kähler geometry
Let (M, I) be an almost complex 6-manifold. The obstruction to integrability of almost complex structure (socalled Nijenhuis tensor) N : Λ0,1(M)−→ Λ(M) maps a 3-dimensional bundle to a 3-dimensional one. We say that Nijenhuis tensor is non-degenerate if it is an isomorphism. An almost complex manifold (M, I) is called nearly Kähler if it admits a Hermitian form ω such that ∇(ω) is totally antis...
متن کاملConnexions with Totally Skew-symmetric Torsion and Nearly-kähler Geometry
We study almost Hermitian structures admitting a Hermitian connexion with totally skew-symmetric torsion or equivalently, those almost Hermitian structures with totally skewsymmetric Nijenhuis tensor. We investigate up to what extent the Nijenhuis tensor fails to be parallel with respect to the characteristic connexion. This is naturally described by means of an extension of the notion of Killi...
متن کاملNon-kähler Solvmanifolds with Generalized Kähler Structure
The generalized Kähler structures were introduced and studied by M. Gualtieri in his PhD thesis [16] in the more general context of generalized geometry started by N. Hitchin in [20]. There are many explicit constructions of non-trivial generalized-Kähler structures [1, 2, 21, 24, 25, 4, 7]. For instance Gualtieri proved that all compact-even dimensional semisimple Lie groups are generalized Kä...
متن کاملThe Moduli Spaces of Worldvolume Brane Solitons
We compute the moduli metrics of worldvolume 0-brane solitons of D-branes and the worldvolume self-dual string solitons of the M-5-brane and examine their geometry. We find that the moduli spaces of 0-brane solitons of D-4-branes and D-8-branes are hyper-Kähler manifolds with torsion and octonionic Kähler manifolds with torsion, respectively. The moduli space of the self-dual string soliton of ...
متن کاملGrassmannians , Calibrations and Five - Brane Intersections
We present a geometric construction of a new class of hyper-Kähler manifolds with torsion. This involves the superposition of the four-dimensional hyper-Kähler geometry with torsion associated with the NS-5-brane along quaternionic planes in H k. We find the moduli space of these geometries and show that it can be constructed using the bundle space of the canonical quaternionic line bundle over...
