Abstract: The almost complex Lie algebroids over smooth manifolds are introduced in the paper. In the first part we give some examples and we obtain a Newlander-Nirenberg type theorem on almost complex Lie algebroids. Next the almost Hermitian Lie algebroids and some related structures on the associated complex Lie algebroid are studied. For instance, we obtain that the

E

-Chern form of

E^{1, 0}

associated to an almost complex connection

a b l a

on

E

can be expressed in terms of the matrix

J_{E} R

, where

J_{E}

is the almost complex structure of

E

and

R

is the curvature of

a b l a

. Also, we consider a metric product connection associated to an almost Hermitian Lie algebroid and we prove that the mean curvature section of

E^{0, 1}

vanishes and the second fundamental

2

--form section of

E^{0, 1}

vanishes iff the Lie algebroid is Hermitian.

Review text

The present paper is an excellent introduction to the theory of Lie algebroids endowed with almost complex structures. A special case is when the base manifold is also almost complex. The classes of Hermitian and Kählerian Lie algebroids are carefully studied and, for example, a Schur-type result is pointed out in the case of transitive Kähler Lie algebroids.
