Holomorphic \(\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{C})\)-geometry on compact complex manifolds (Q2049527)

A holomorphic \(\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{C})\) geometric structure on a complex manifold \(X\) of complex dimension \(n\) is defined by the data of a rank-2 holomorphic vector bundle \(E\) on \(X\), together with an identification of the holomorphic tangent bundle of \(X\) with the \((n-1)\)-fold symmetric product of \(E\). Such a structure corresponds to a reduction of the structure group of the frame bundle of \(X\) to \(\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{C})\). The authors classify these geometric structures in a variety of situations (in general or under technical hypotheses): for compact Kähler manifolds of even dimension (at least equal to four), for Fujiki class C manifolds, for Fano manifolds etc.
