Abstract Motivated by the recent interest in even-Clifford structures and in generalized complex and quaternionic geometries, we introduce the notion of generalized almost even-Clifford structure. We generalize the Arizmendi-Hadfield twistor space construction on even-Clifford manifolds to this setting and show that such a twistor space admits a generalized complex structure under certain conditions.

AbstractWe answer the natural question: when is a transversely holomorphic symplectic foliation induced by a generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure determine an obstruction class in a certain cohomology, which vanishes if and only if our question has an affirmative answer. We first study a component of this obstruction, which gives the condition that the leafwise cohomology class of the symplectic form must be transversely pluriharmonic. As a consequence, under certain topological hypotheses, we infer that we actually have a symplectic fibre bundle over a complex base. We then show how to compute the full obstruction via a spectral sequence. We give various concrete necessary and sufficient conditions for the vanishing of the obstruction. Throughout, we give examples to test the sharpness of these conditions, including a symplectic fibre bundle over a complex base that does not come from a generalized complex structure, and a regular generalized complex structure that is very unlike a symplectic fibre bundle, i.e., for which nearby leaves are not symplectomorphic.

AbstractIn this paper, we first discuss the relation between VB-Courant algebroids and E-Courant algebroids, and we construct some examples of E-Courant algebroids. Then we introduce the notion of a generalized complex structure on an E-Courant algebroid, unifying the usual generalized complex structures on even-dimensional manifolds and generalized contact structures on odd-dimensional manifolds. Moreover, we study generalized complex structures on an omni-Lie algebroid in detail. In particular, we show that generalized complex structures on an omni-Lie algebra gl(V) ⊕ V correspond to complex Lie algebra structures on V.

Abstract After a review on the development of deformation theory of abelian complex structures from both the classical and generalized sense, we propose the concept of semi-abelian generalized complex structure. We present some observations on such structure and illustrate this new concept with a variety of examples.

We construct a three-dimensional topological sigma model which is induced from a generalized complex structure on a target generalized complex manifold. This model is constructed from maps from a three-dimensional manifold X to an arbitrary generalized complex manifold M. The theory is invariant under the diffeomorphism on the worldvolume and the b-transformation on the generalized complex structure. Moreover the model is manifestly invariant under the mirror symmetry. We derive from this model the Zucchini's two-dimensional topological sigma model with a generalized complex structure as a boundary action on ∂X. As a special case, we obtain three-dimensional realization of a WZ-Poisson manifold.

Abstract We introduce integrable complex structures on twistor spaces fibered over complex manifolds. We then show, in particular, that the twistor spaces associated with generalized Kahler, SKT and strong HKT manifolds all naturally admit complex structures. Moreover, in the strong HKT case, we construct a metric and three compatible complex structures on the twistor space that have equal torsions.

Abstract We study a natural functional on the space of holomorphic sections of the Deligne–Hitchin moduli space of a compact Riemann surface, generalizing the energy of equivariant harmonic maps corresponding to twistor lines. We show that the energy is the residue of the pull-back along the section of a natural meromorphic connection on the hyperholomorphic line bundle recently constructed by Hitchin. As a byproduct, we show the existence of a hyper-Kähler potentials for new components of real holomorphic sections of twistor spaces of hyper-Kähler manifolds with rotating $$S^1$$ S 1 -action. Additionally, we prove that for a certain class of real holomorphic sections of the Deligne–Hitchin moduli space, the energy functional is basically given by the Willmore energy of corresponding equivariant conformal map to the 3-sphere. As an application we use the functional to distinguish new components of real holomorphic sections of the Deligne–Hitchin moduli space from the space of twistor lines.
