Directed immersions for complex structures

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We analyze the differential relation corresponding to integrability of almost complex structures, reformulated as a directed immersion relation by Demailly and Gaussier. Combining results of Clemente [3], we show that applying h-principle techniques yields the following statement: for an almost complex manifold with arbitrary metric (X,J,g), and for epsilon>0, there exists a smooth function f:XightarrowmathbbR and almost complex structure J on X such that J and J are C0-close on the graph of f with respect to the extended metric on XimesmathbbR, and such that the Nijenhuis tensor of J on the graph has pointwise sup norm less than Cepsilon, where C is a constant depending only on J and g. This is an updated version of a previous preprint titled "Almost complex manifolds are (almost) complex".
