Soliton almost Kähler structures on 6-dimensional nilmanifolds for the symplectic curvature flow (Q253848)

For an almost Kähler manifold \(M^{2n}(g,J,\omega)\), let \(p\) be its Chern-Ricci form and Ric the Ricci tensor of the Riemannian manifold \(M^{2n}(g)\). The symplectic curvature flow on a compact almost Kähler manifold \(M^{2n}(g_0,J_0,\omega_0)\) is given by the system of evolution equations \[ \begin{aligned}\partial_t \omega & =-2p(\omega, g)\\\partial_t g & =-2(p^c(\cdot,J\cdot)-\mathrm{Ric}^{ac})\end{aligned} \] with \(\omega(0)=\omega_0\) and \(G(0)=g_0\), where \(p^c\) is the complexified component of \(p\) and \(\mathrm{Ric}^{ac}\) denotes the anti-complexified part of Ric. If \(G\) is a simply connected Lie group admitting a left invariant almost Kähler structure \((g_0,J_0,\omega_0)\) with its Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\), then \((g_0,J_0,\omega_0)\) is called a soliton if the solution to the symplectic curvature flow starting at \((g_0,J_0,\omega_0)\) has the form \(\omega_t=c(t)\omega_0(\phi_t\cdot,\phi_t\cdot)\) and \(g_t=c(t)g_0(\phi_t\cdot,\phi_t\cdot)\) for some \(c(t)\in\mathbb R^+\) and \(\phi_t\in\mathrm{Aut}(\mathfrak{g})\). In this paper, the author studies soliton almost Kähler structures on 6-dimensional nilmanifolds. Minimal compatible metrics on symplectic nilpotent Lie algebras determine such structures. The examples are symplectic two-step nilpotent Lie algebras which are Chern-Ricci flat. The author gives a complete classification of minimal compatible metrics on 6-dimensional symplectic three-step and two-step nilpotent Lie algebras and prove that (i) all symplectic two-step Lie algebras of dimension 6 admit a minimal compatible metric and, in consequence, admit a soliton almost Kähler structure, and (ii) every minimal compatible metric on a symplectic three-step nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension 6 defines a soliton almost Kähler structure.
