On pluricanonical locally conformally almost K\"ahler metrics

On an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$, a pluricanonical locally conformally almost K\"ahler (LCAK) metric $g$ is induced by a locally conformally symplectic structure $(F,\theta)$ of the first kind, characterized by the fact that $D\theta$ is $J$-anti-invariant and that the image of the Nijenhuis tensor is $g$-orthogonal to the distribution spanned by $\{\theta^\sharp,J\theta^\sharp\}$, where $\theta$ is the Lee form and $D$ is the Levi-Civita connection. On a compact complex manifold, pluricanonical locally conformally K\"ahler (LCK) metrics have parallel Lee form. The same conclusion holds for LCK Chern--Ricci flat Gauduchon metrics. We generalize both results to LCAK metrics. We also observe that on a compact pluricanonical LCAK manifold with a non-trivial Lee form, there is no symplectic form compatible with the same almost complex structure. Moreover, we remark that the pluricanonical LCAK condition implies that the fundamental $2$-form is an eigenform of the Hodge Laplacian, and we give a simple characterization of the pluricanonical LCAK condition on compact manifolds. Finally, we study LCAK metrics with $\theta^\sharp$ being real holomorphic, proving in that case $D\theta=0$ when the metric is Gauduchon.

On a class of almost Hermitian 4-manifolds

Using an integral identity proved by Sekigawa \cite{Sek87} on compact almost Hermitian 4-manifolds, we naturally obtain a global characterization of the class $\mathcal{AH}_1$ of almost Hermitian 4-manifolds satisfying the first Gray curvature condition from apparently weaker conditions. Then we take steps towards a classification of almost Hermitian 4-manifolds of class $\mathcal{AH}_1$, including proving a uniqueness result on 4-dimensional Lie algebras.
