These are in one-to-one correspondence with left invariant generalized complex structures on $G$. Using this correspondence and results of Cavalcanti-Gualtieri and Fern\\'andez-Gotay-Gray, it turns out that when $G$ is nilpotent and four or six dimensional, the cotangent bundle $T^*G$ always has a hermitian structure. However, we prove that if $G$ is a four dimensional solvable Lie group admitting neither complex nor symplectic structures, then $T^*G$ has no hermitian structure or, equivalently, $G$ has no left invariant generalized complex structure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-30T12:55:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B30", "53C15", "22E25", "53C55", "53D17" ], "keywords": [ "dimensional solvable lie group", "hermitian structure", "cotangent bundle", "left invariant generalized complex structure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
