Homogeneous nearly Kähler manifolds
Abstract
Description
We classify six-dimensional homogeneous nearly Kähler manifolds and give a positive answer to Gray and Wolf's conjecture: every homogeneous nearly Kähler manifold is a Riemannian 3-symmetric space equipped with its canonical almost Hermitian structure. The only four examples in dimension 6 are $S^3 \times S^3$, the complex projective space $\CM P^3$, the flag manifold $\mathbb F^3$ and the sphere $S^6$. We develop, about each of these spaces, a distinct aspect of nearly Kähler geometry and make in the same time a sharp description of its specific homogeneous structure.
This is the english version of an older article written in french (Classification des variétés approximativement kähleriennes homogènes, Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 27, 201-225, 2005). It contains no new results. However, we modified the structure of the paper, simplified some proofs and added a lot of explanations, especially on 3-symmetric spaces. It can be read as a sort of survey on nearly Kähler manifolds
