Abstract.Let be a smoothly bounded orientable pseudoconvex CR manifold of finite type and dimℝM = 3. Then we extend the given CR structure on M to an integrable almost complex structure on which is the concave side of M and M ⊂

In dimension m ≥ 4, results of Strichartz decompose the space 𝔄 of affine curvature tensors as a direct sum of 3 modules in the real setting and results of Bokan give a corresponding finer decomposition of 𝔄 in the Riemannian setting as the direct sum of 8 irreducible modules. In dimension m ≥ 8, results of Matzeu and Nikčević decompose the space 𝔎 of affine Kähler curvature tensors as the direct sum of 12 irreducible modules in the Hermitian setting (i.e. given an auxiliary inner product which is invariant under the given almost complex structure). In this paper, we decompose 𝔎 as a direct sum of six irreducible modules in the complex setting in dimension m ≥ 8. Corresponding decompositions into fewer modules are given in dimension m = 4 and m = 6.

In this paper, by using the [Formula: see text]-structure on Im[Formula: see text] from the octonions [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text]-binormal motion of curves [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] associated to the almost complex structure on [Formula: see text] is studied. The motion is proved to be equivalent to Schrödinger flows from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], and also to a nonlinear Schrödinger-type system (NLSS) in three unknown complex functions that generalizes the famous correspondence between the binormal motion of curves in [Formula: see text] and the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Some related geometric properties of the surface [Formula: see text] in Im[Formula: see text] swept by [Formula: see text] are determined.

We define and study branched shadows of 4-manifolds as a combination of branched spines of 3-manifolds and of Turaev's shadows. We use these objects to combinatorially represent 4-manifolds equipped with Spinc-structures and homotopy classes of almost complex structures. We then use branched shadows to study complex 4-manifolds and prove that each almost complex structure on a 4-dimensional handlebody is homotopic to a complex one.

Abstract We show obstructions to the existence of a coclosed {\mathrm{G}_{2}} -structure on a Lie algebra {\mathfrak{g}} of dimension seven with non-trivial center. In particular, we prove that if there exists a Lie algebra epimorphism from {\mathfrak{g}} to a six-dimensional Lie algebra {\mathfrak{h}} , with the kernel contained in the center of {\mathfrak{g}} , then any coclosed {\mathrm{G}_{2}} -structure on {\mathfrak{g}} induces a closed and stable three form on {\mathfrak{h}} that defines an almost complex structure on {\mathfrak{h}} . As a consequence, we obtain a classification of the 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras which carry coclosed {\mathrm{G}_{2}} -structures. We also prove that each one of these Lie algebras has a coclosed {\mathrm{G}_{2}} -structure inducing a nilsoliton metric, but this is not true for 3-step nilpotent Lie algebras with coclosed {\mathrm{G}_{2}} -structures. The existence of contact metric structures is also studied.
