“…Proof. Let ∇ be the Levi-Civita connection of g. From ∇ 1 ≡ 0 and equation (15), it follows that ∇ x J = −J∇ x for every x ∈ g, therefore (16) g (∇ x Jy, z) = −g (J∇ x y, z) = g (∇ x y, Jz) ,…”

We study the structure of Lie groups admitting left invariant abelian complex structures in terms of commutative associative algebras. If, in addition, the Lie group is equipped with a left invariant Hermitian structure, it turns out that such a Hermitian structure is Kähler if and only if the Lie group is the direct product of several copies of the real hyperbolic plane by a euclidean factor. Moreover, we show that if a left invariant Hermitian metric on a Lie group with an abelian complex structure has flat first canonical connection, then the Lie group is abelian.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 53C15, 53B35, 53C30.

In this note we prove that any left-invariant almost Hermitian structure on a 2-step nilmanifold is Ricci-flat with respect to the Chern connection and that it is Ricci -flat with respect to another canonical connection if and only if it is cosymplectic (i.e. d * ω = 0). introductionLet (M, g, J, ω) be an almost Hermitian manifold. Gauduchon introduced in [13] a 1-parameter family ∇ t of canonical Hermitian connections which can be distinguished by the properties of the torsion tensor T . In this family ∇ 1 corresponds to so-called Chern connection which can be defined as the unique Hermitian connection whose (1, 1)-part of the torsion vanishes. In the quasi-Kähler case (i.e. when ∂ω = 0), the line {∇ t } degenerates to a single point and the Chern connection is the unique canonical connection.Any canonical connection ∇ t induces the so-called Ricci form ρ t (X, Y ) = 2 i tr ω R t (X, Y ), where R t denotes the curvature of ∇ t . It turns out that ρ t is always a closed form which can be locally written as the derivative of the 1-form θ t (X) = n r=1 g(∇ t X Z r , Z r ), where {Z r } is a (local) unitary frame. Moreover, in the cosymplectic case (i.e. when dω n−1 = 0) the line {θ t } degenerates to a single point (see Corollary 3.3) and all the canonical connections have the same Ricci form.The aim of this paper is to study the Ricci forms ρ t on 2-step nilmanifolds equipped with a left-invariant almost Hermitian structure. We recall that by definition a k-step nilmanifold is a compact quotient of a k-step nilpotent Lie group G by lattice. Since we are considering left-invariant almost Hermitian structures, we can work on Lie algrebras in an algebraic fashion. Our main result is the following Theorem 1. Let (g, g, J, ω) be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra with an almost Hermitian structure. Then (g, J) is Ricci-flat with respect to the Chern connection and it is Ricci-flat with respect to another canonical connection if and only if it is cosymplectic (i.e. d * ω = 0). This theorem has the following immediate consequence: Corollary 1.1. Every left-invariant almost Hermitian structure on a nilmanifold associated to a 2-step Lie group is Ricci-flat with respect to the Chern connection.

“…In terms of the Levi Civita connection D of g , the Chern connection is given by

g (\nabla_{X} Y, Z) = g (D_{X} Y, Z) - \frac{1}{2} d ω (J X, Y, Z) .

We refer to e.g. [, (2.1)], [, (2.1)] and [, Section ] for different equivalent descriptions. Note that

\nabla = D

if and only if

(M, J, ω, g)

is Kähler.…”

Abstract. This paper is concerned with Chern-Ricci flow evolution of left-invariant hermitian structures on Lie groups. We study the behavior of a solution, as t is approaching the first time singularity, by rescaling in order to prevent collapsing and obtain convergence in the pointed (or Cheeger-Gromov) sense to a Chern-Ricci soliton. We give some results on the Chern-Ricci form and the Lie group structure of the pointed limit in terms of the starting hermitian metric and, as an application, we obtain a complete picture for the class of solvable Lie groups having a codimension one normal abelian subgroup. We have also found a Chern-Ricci soliton hermitian metric on most of the complex surfaces which are solvmanifolds, including an unexpected shrinking soliton example.

Chern-flat and Ricci-flat invariant almost Hermitian structures

Abstract: We study left-invariant almost Hermitian structures on homogeneous spaces having either flat Chern connection or flat Ricci-Chern form. Many examples are carefully described, and a classification is given in low dimensions.
