On cotangent manifolds, complex structures and generalized geometry

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We develop various properties of symmetric generalized complex structures (in connection with their holomorphic space and B-field transformations), which are analogous to the well-known results of Gualtieri on skew-symmetric generalized complex structures. Given a symmetric or skew-symmetric generalized complex structure \mathcal J and a connection D on a manifold M, we construct an almost complex structure J^{\mathcal J,D} on the cotangent manifold T^{*}M and we study its integrability. For \mathcal J skew-symmetric, we relate the Courant integrability of \mathcal J with the integrability of J^{\mathcal J, D}. We consider in detail the case when M=G is a Lie group and \mathcal J , D are left-invariant. We also show that our approach generalizes various well-known results from special complex geometry.
