Global properties of toric nearly Kähler manifolds (Q2227514)

The author studies \(6\)-dimensional complete, toric, strict nearly Kähler manifolds. We recall that a nearly Kähler manifold is an almost Hermitian manifold \((M,g,J)\) such that \(\nabla J\) is skew-symmetric. Strict means that they are not Kähler. Finally, toric is in the sense that the automorphism group contains a \(3\)-torus. The only known example is the homogeneous nearly Kähler structure on \(S^3 \times S^3\), that the author studied in [Geom. Dedicata 200, 351--362 (2019; Zbl 1415.53066)]. The author extends the local theory developed by \textit{A. Moroianu} and \textit{P.-A. Nagy} [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 55, No. 4, 703--717 (2019; Zbl 1482.53088)] in terms of a Monge-Ampère type equation. A toric nearly Kähler manifold is equipped with two multi-moment maps in the sense of \textit{T. B. Madsen} and \textit{A. Swann} [Geom. Dedicata 165, 25--52 (2013; Zbl 1275.53077)]. Theorem 1 gives a nearly-Kähler analogue of a classical result in symplectic geometry, by showing that the multi-moment maps induce a homeomorphism from the space of orbits onto its image \(S^3\). Theorem 2 studies the case when a hypothetical solution to the toric nearly Kähler equation is polynomial in the natural multi-moment map coordinates.
