More Differential Operators on Almost Hermitian Manifolds

In 1980 Michelsohn defined a differential operator on sections of the complex Clifford bundle over a compact K\"ahler manifold M . This operator is a differential and its Laplacian agrees with the Laplacian of the Dolbeault operator on forms through a natural identification of differential forms with sections of the Clifford bundle. Relaxing the condition that M be K\"ahler, we introduce two differential operators on sections of the complex Clifford bundle over a compact almost Hermitian manifold which naturally generalize the one introduced by Michelsohn. We show surprising K\"ahler-like symmetries of the kernel of the Laplacians of these operators in the almost Hermitian and almost K\"ahler settings, along with a correspondence of these operators to operators on forms which are of present interest in almost complex geometry.

Kähler identities for almost complex manifolds

We obtain a generalization, for a general compact almost complex manifold, of the well-known Kähler (or Hodge) identities for Kähler manifolds involving the commutators of the exterior differential and the Lefschetz operator and its adjoint. The main idea is to study the problem on the Clifford bundle via the Dirac operator, and then translate the results to the exterior bundle.
