Abstract: We characterize those real flag manifolds that can be endowed with invariant generalized almost complex structures. We show that no GM2-maximal real flag manifolds admit integrable invariant generalized almost complex structures. We give a concrete description of the generalized complex geometry on the maximal real flags of type B2, G2, A3, and Dl with lgeq5, where we prove that the space of invariant generalized almost complex structures under invariant B-transformations is homotopy equivalent to a torus and we classify all invariant generalized almost Hermitian structures on them.


The authors study invariant generalized almost complex structures on real flag manifolds. In particular, they obtain the classification of real flag manifolds that admit generalized almost complex structures (Theorem 3.1). It is shown in Theorem 4.1 that no \(GM_2\)-maximal real flag manifolds admit integrable invariant generalized almost complex structures. Section 5 is devoted to a concrete description of the generalized complex geometry on the maximal real flags of type \(B_2\), \(G_2\), \(A_3\), and \(D_l\) with \(l\geq 5\). For these cases, the authors study the action by invariant \(B\)-transformations on the space of invariant generalized almost complex structures. They prove the following: for every \(M\)-class root space, any generalized complex structure which is not of complex type is a \(B\)-transform of a structure of symplectic type; every element in the set of generalized complex structures of complex type is fixed for the action induced by \(B\)-transformations (Propositions 5.4 and 5.5). Moreover, the space of invariant generalized almost complex structures under invariant \(B\)-transformations is homotopy equivalent to a torus. The authors classify all invariant generalized almost Hermitian structures on them (Proposition 5.9).
