Almost analytic forms with respect to a quadratic endomorphism and their cohomology

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to consider the notion of almost analytic form in a unifying setting for both almost complex and almost paracomplex geometries. We use a global formalism, which yields, in addition to generalizations of the main results of the previously known almost complex case, a relationship with the Frolicher-Nijenhuis theory. A cohomology of almost analytic forms is also introduced and studied as well as deformations of almost analytic forms with pairs of almost analytic functions.
