Motivated by the geometrical structures of quantum mechanics, we introduce an almost complex structure [Formula: see text] on the product [Formula: see text] of any parallelizable statistical manifold [Formula: see text]. Then, we use [Formula: see text] to extract a pre-symplectic form and a metric-like tensor on [Formula: see text] from a divergence function. These tensors may be pulled back to [Formula: see text], and we compute them in the case of an N-dimensional symplex with respect to the Kullback–Leibler relative entropy, and in the case of (a suitable unfolding space of) the manifold of faithful density operators with respect to the von Neumann–Umegaki relative entropy.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a statistical manifold of density operators, with respect to an n.s.f. trace τ on a semifinite von Neumann algebra M. If Sp is the unit sphere of the noncommutative space Lp(M, τ), using the noncommutative Amari embedding [Formula: see text], we define a noncommutative α-bundle-connection pair (ℱα, ∇α), by the pullback technique. In the commutative case we show that it coincides with the construction of nonparametric Amari–Čentsov α-connection made in Ref. 8 by Gibilisco and Pistone.

As is well known, there are 34 classes of isomorphic simply connected six-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. Of these, only 26 classes admit left-invariant symplectic structures and only 18 admit left-invariant complex structures. There are five six-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups G , which do not admit neither symplectic, nor complex structures and, therefore, can be neither almost pseudo- Kӓhlerian, nor almost Hermitian. In this work, these Lie groups are being studied. The aim of the paper is to define new left-invariant geometric structures on the Lie groups under consideration that compensate, in some sense, the absence of symplectic and complex structures. Weakening the closedness requirement of left-invariant 2-forms ω on the Lie groups, non-degenerated 2-forms ω are obtained, whose exterior differential dω is also non-degenerated in Hitchin sense [6]. Therefore, the Hitchin’s operator K dω is defined for the 3-form dω . It is shown that K dω defines an almost complex or almost para-complex structure for G and the couple ( ω, dω ) defines pseudo-Riemannian metrics of signature (2,4) or (3,3), which is Einsteinian for 4 out of 5 considered Lie groups. It gives new examples of multiparametric families of Einstein metrics of signature (3,3) and almost para-complex structures on six-dimensional nilmanifolds, whose structural group is being reduced to SL (3 , R) SO (3 , 3). On each of the Lie groups under consideration, compatible pairs of left-invariant forms (ω, Ω), where Ω = d ω, are obtained. For them the defining properties of half-flat structures are naturally fulfilled: d Ω = 0 and ωΩ = 0. Therefore, the obtained structures are not only almost Einsteinian para-complex, but also pseudo- Riemannian half-flat.

AbstractA complex Lie supergroup can be described as a real Lie supergroup with integrable almost complex structure. The necessary and sufficient conditions on an almost complex structure on a real Lie supergroup for defining a complex Lie supergroup are deduced. The classification of real Lie supergroups with such almost complex structures yields a new approach to the known classification of complex Lie supergroups by complexHarish-Chandra superpairs. A universal complexi ûcation of a real Lie supergroup is constructed

In this note, we show that for a closed almost-Kähler manifold [Formula: see text] with the almost complex structure [Formula: see text] satisfies [Formula: see text] the space of de Rham harmonic forms is contained in the space of symplectic-Bott–Chern harmonic forms. In particular, suppose that [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional, if the self-dual Betti number [Formula: see text], then we prove that the second non-HLC degree measures the gap between the de Rham and the symplectic-Bott–Chern harmonic forms.

The aim of this paper is to continue the study of Kodaira dimension for almost complex manifolds, focusing on the case of compact [Formula: see text]-dimensional solvmanifolds without any integrable almost complex structure. According to the classification theory we consider: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. For the first solvmanifold we introduce special families of almost complex structures, compute the corresponding Kodaira dimension and show that it is no longer a deformation invariant. Moreover, we prove Ricci flatness of the canonical connection for the almost Kähler structure. Regarding the other two manifolds we compute the Kodaira dimension for certain almost complex structures. Finally, we construct a natural hypercomplex structure providing a twistorial description.

The paper is concerned with the Kaluza–Klein metric on the tangent bundle over a Riemannian manifold. All kinds of Riemann curvature tensors are computed and some curvature properties are given. The compatible almost complex structure is defined on the tangent bundle, and necessary and sufficient conditions for such a structure to be integrable are described. Then, the condition is given under which the tangent bundle with these structures is almost Kähler. Finally, almost golden complex structures are defined on this setting and some results related to them are presented.

Let [Formula: see text] be a compact orientable smooth manifold admitting an almost complex structure and [Formula: see text] for (λ, μ) ∈ ℝ2 - (0, 0) be the functional defined on the space of the almost Hermitian structure [Formula: see text]. We discuss the first variational problem of the functional [Formula: see text] on the space [Formula: see text] and its subspace [Formula: see text] in the case where [Formula: see text] is a product manifold of Sasakian manifolds. Further this paper provides examples of critical Hermitian structures of the functional [Formula: see text] for various (λ, μ).

Every Walker [Formula: see text]-manifold [Formula: see text], endowed with a canonical neutral metric [Formula: see text], admits a specific almost complex structure called proper. In this paper, we find the conditions under which a proper almost complex structure is a harmonic section or a harmonic map from [Formula: see text] to its hyperbolic twistor space.

In April 2003, Chern began a study of almost-complex structures on the six-sphere, with the idea of exploiting the special properties of its well-known almost-complex structure invariant under the exceptional group [Formula: see text]. While he did not solve the (currently still open) problem of determining whether there exists an integrable almost-complex structure on [Formula: see text], he did prove a significant identity that resolves the question for an interesting class of almost-complex structures on [Formula: see text].
