Complex Structures on Product Manifolds

Abstract

Let $M_i$, for $i=1,2$, be a Kähler manifold, and let $G$ be a Lie group acting on $M_i$ by Kähler isometries. Suppose that the action admits a momentum map $\hat{I}{¼}_i$ and let $N_i:=\hat{I}{¼}_i^{-1}(0)$ be a regular level set. When the action of $G$ on $N_i$ is proper and free, the Meyer--Marsden--Weinstein quotient $P_i:=N_i/G$ is a Kähler manifold and $\ddot{I}{€}_i:N_i\to P_i$ is a principal fiber bundle with base $P_i$ and characteristic fiber $G$. In this paper, we define an almost complex structure for the manifold $N_1\times N_2$ and give necessary and sufficient conditions for its integrability. In the integrable case, we find explicit holomorphic charts for $N_1\times N_2$. As applications, we consider a non integrable almost-complex structure on the product of two complex Stiefel manifolds and the infinite Calabi-Eckmann manifolds ${\mathbb{S}}^{2n+1}\times S(\mathcal{H})$, for $n\ge 1$, where $S(\mathcal{H})$ denotes the unit sphere of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$
