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.

AbstractOn a compact Kähler manifold X with a holomorphic 2-form α, there is an almost complex structure associated with α. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov–Witten invariants of X. This extends the approach used by Parker and the author for Kähler surfaces to higher dimensions.

Abstract In this paper we present a bundle of pairs of volume forms V2. We describe horizontal lift of a tensor of type (1; 1) and we show that horizontal lift of an almost complex structure on a manifold M is an almost complex structure on the bundle V2. Next we give conditions under which the almost complex structure on V 2 is integrable. In the second part we find horizontal lift of vector fields, tensorfields of type (0; 2) and (2; 0), Riemannian metrics and we determine a family of a t-connections on the bundle of pairs of volume forms. At the end, we consider some properties of the horizontally lifted vector fields and certain infinitesimal transformations.

A hypersurface of a globally framed f-manifold (briefly, a framed manifold), does not in general possess a framed structure as one may see by considering the 4-sphere S4 in R5 or S5. For, a hypersurface so endowed carries an almost complex structure, or else, it admits a nonsingular differentiable vector field. Since an almost complex manifold may be considered as being globally framed, with no complementary frames, this situation is in marked contrast with the well known fact that a hypersurface (real codimension 1) of an almost complex manifold admits a framed structure, more specifically, an almost contact structure.
