The exterior derivative of the Lee form of almost Hermitian manifolds

Abstract

The exterior derivative dθ of the Lee form θ of almost Hermitian manifolds is studied. If ω is the Kähler two-form, it is proved that the Rω-component of dθ is always zero. Expressions for the other components, in [λ01,1] and in [[λ2,0]], of dθ are also obtained. They are given in terms of the intrinsic torsion. Likewise, it is described some interrelations between the Lee form and U(n)-components of the Riemannian curvature tensor.
