Review text

The author studies connections on almost hypercomplex manifolds from the point of view of \(G\)-structures. To any almost complex structure \(I\) subordinate to the hypercomplex structure, he associates a torsionfree connection \(D^I\) with the following property: Let \(J\) be a second almost complex structure subordinate to the hypercomplex structure such that \(IJ= -JI\). Then \(J\) is integrable if and only if \(D^IJ= 0\). From this, the author derives two corollaries. The first is Obata's theorem, which states that an almost hypercomplex manifold is integrable if and only if it is 1-integrable. The second corollary affirms that an almost hypercomplex structure is integrable as soon as it admits two subordinate integrable complex structures \(I\) and \(J\neq\pm I\). Finally, the explicit formula for the canonical connection of an almost hypercomplex manifold is recovered. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00034].
