Let \(\mathcal{M} f_m\) be the category of \(m\)-dimensional manifolds and local diffeomorphisms and  let \(T\) be the tangent functor on \(\mathcal{M} f_m\). Let \(\mathcal{V}\) be the category of real vector spaces and linear maps and let \(\mathcal{V}_m\) be the category of \(m\)-dimensional real vector spaces and linear isomorphisms. We characterize all regular covariant functors \(F:\mathcal{V}_m\to\mathcal{V}\) admitting \(\mathcal{M} f_m\)-natural operators \(\tilde J\) transforming classical linear connections \(\nabla\) on \(m\)-dimensional manifolds \(M\) into almost complex structures \(\tilde J(\nabla)\) on \(F(T)M=\bigcup_{x\in M}F(T_xM)\).

We obtain new families of(1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on the full complex flag manifoldsF(n). Forn≥5, we characterizen−3differentn-dimensional families of(1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics onF(n). Each of these families corresponds to a different class of nonintegrable invariant almost complex structures onF(n).

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.
