Espace de twisteurs d'une variete presque hermitienne de dimension 6

We consider the reduced twistor space $Z$ of an almost Hermitian manifold $M$, after O'Brian and Rawnsley (Ann. Global Anal. Geom., 1985). We concentrate on dimension 6. This space has a natural almost complex structure $\mathcal J$ associated to the canonical Hermitian connection. A necessary condition for the integrability of $\mathcal J$ on $Z$ is that the manifold belongs to the class $W_1 \oplus W_4$ of Gray, Hervella. In a second part, we then show that the almost Hermitian manifolds of type $W_1 \oplus W_4$ are all locally conformally nearly Kähler in dimension 6. Finally, $\mathcal J$ is integrable if and only if $M$ is locally conformal to the sphere $S^6$ or to a Bochner-flat Kähler manifold.

Homogeneous nearly Kähler manifolds

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.

Twistors and 3-symmetric spaces

We describe complex twistor spaces over inner 3-symmetric spaces $G/H$, such that $H$ acts transitively on the fibre. Like in the symmetric case, these are flag manifolds $G/K$ where $K$ is the centralizer of a torus in $G$. Moreover, they carry an almost complex structure defined using the horizontal distribution of the normal connection on $G/H$, that coincides with the complex structure associated to a parabolic subgroup $P \subset G^{\mathbb C}$ if it is integrable. Conversely, starting from a complex flag manifold $G^{\mathbb C}/P$, there exists a natural fibration with complex fibres on a 3-symmetric space, called fibration of degree 3.

Classification des varietes approximativement kahleriennes homogenes

We prove Gray & Wolf's conjecture that a Riemannian homogeneous manifold admitting a strict nearly Kahler structure is 3-symmetric. We actually classify them in dimension 6 and use previous results of Swann, Cleyton and Nagy to prove the conjecture in higher dimensions.
