Nearly Kahler manifoldsDefinitions
An almost Hermitian manifold (M, g , J) is a manifold M withmetric g and almost complex structure J (endomorphism s.t.J2 = −Id) satisfying
g(JX , JY ) = g(X ,Y ), X ,Y ∈ TM.
A nearly Kahler manifold is an almost Hermitian manifold (M, g , J)with the extra assumption that ∇J is skew-symmetric:
(∇X J)Y + (∇Y J)X = 0, X ,Y ∈ TM.
First example introduced by Fukami and Ishihara in 1955 andsystematically studied by A. Gray in several papers starting from 1970.

Nearly Kahler manifoldsIdentities
For convenience, we will write G (X ,Y ) = (∇X J)Y .
Some identities:
G (X ,Y ) + G (Y ,X ) = 0,
G (X , JY ) + JG (X ,Y ) = 0,
g(G (X ,Y ),Z ) and g(G (X ,Y ), JZ ) are totally anti symmetric.
∇J = 0.
Here ∇XY = ∇XY − 12JG (X ,Y ) is the canonical Hermitian
connection.

Nearly Kahler manifolds
For nearly Kahler manifolds the 6-dimensional case is particularlyinteresting, as
1 by the structure theorems of Nagy, they serve as building blocks forarbitrary nearly Kahler manifolds
2 by a result of Grunewald, provided the nearly Kahler manifold issimply connected, there is a bijective correspondence between nearlyKahler structures and unit real Killing spinors

3 the projective space CP3 (but not with the usual metric andcomplex structure)
4 M = SU(3)/U(1)× U(1), the space of flags of C3.

A 3-dimensional manifold M3 in S3 × S3 is called Lagrnagian if J mapsthe tangent space into the normal space.
In view of the dimension this also implies that J of a normal vector istangent, i.e. J is an isomorphism between the tangent and the normalspace.
Theorem (Schafer-Smoczyk)

Let M3 be a totally geodesic Lagrangian immersion in S3 × S3 then M istotally geodesic or locally congruent with either
1 g 7→ (gig−1, gjg−1)
2 the flat torus described earlier.
