چکیده
In this paper, we use Clifford algebra and the spinor calculus to study the complex structures on Euclidean space R8 and the spheres S4, S6. By the spin representation of G(2, 8) ⊂ Spin(8) we show that the Grassmann manifold G(2, 8) can be looked as the set of orthogonal complex structures on R8. In this way, we show that G(2, 8) and CP 3 can be looked as twistor spaces of S6 and S4 respectively. Then we show that there is no almost complex structure on sphere S4 and there is no orthogonal complex structure on the sphere S6.

متن کاملCharacteristic Classes on Grassmann Manifolds
In this paper, we use characteristic classes of the canonical vector bundles and the Poincaré dualality to study the structure of the real homology and cohomology groups of oriented Grassmann manifold G(k, n). Show that for k = 2 or n ≤ 8, the cohomology groups H∗(G(k, n),R) are generated by the first Pontrjagin class, the Euler classes of the canonical vector bundles. In these cases, the Poinc...

In this paper, we show that the twistor space J (R2n+2) on Euclidean space R2n+2 is a Kaehler manifold and the orthogonal twistor space J̃ (S2n) of the sphere S2n is a Kaehler submanifold of J (R2n+2). Then we show that an orthogonal almost complex structure Jf on S 2n is integrable if and only if the corresponding section f : S2n → J̃ (S2n) is holomorphic. These shows there is no integrable orth...
