Para-\(tt^*\)-bundles on the tangent bundle of an almost para-complex manifold (Q2385165)

The author studies para-\(tt^{*}\)-bundles (\( TM, D, S)\) on the tangent bundle of an almost para-complex manifold \((M, \tau)\). He characterises para-\(tt^{*}\)-bundles with \({\nabla=D + S}\) induced by the one-parameter family of connections given by \({\nabla^{\theta}=\exp(\theta \tau) \circ \nabla \circ\exp(-\theta \tau)}\) and proves a uniqueness result for solutions with a para-complex connection \(D\). Flat nearly para-Kähler manifolds and special para-complex manifolds are shown to be such solutions. It is analysed which of these solutions admit metric or symplectic para-\(tt^{*}\)-bundles. Moreover, a generalisation of the notion of a para-pluriharmonic map to maps from almost para-complex manifolds \((M, \tau)\) into pseudo-Riemannian manifolds is given. Finally, to the above metric (respectively, symplectic para-\(tt^{*}\)-bundles) generalised para-pluriharmonic maps into \(\text{Sp}(\mathbb{R}^{2n})/\) \(U^{\pi}(C^n)\), respectively, into \(\text{SO}_{0}(n, n)/ U^{\pi}(C^{n})\) is associated, where \(U^{\pi}(C^{n})\) are the para-complex analogue of the unitary group.
