The Kähler quotient of a complex reductive Lie group relative to the conjugation action carries a complex algebraic stratified Kähler structure which reflects the geometry of the group. For the group SL(n,ℂ), we interpret the resulting singular Poisson-Kähler geometry of the quotient in terms of complex discriminant varieties and variants thereof.
We consider the set of all almost Kähler structures (g,J) on a 2n-dimensional compact orientable manifold M and study a critical point of the functional with respect to the scalar curvature τ and the *-scalar curvature τ*. We show that an almost Kähler structure (J,g) is a critical point of if and only if (J,g) is a Kähler structure on M.
On a -dimensional compact symplectic manifold, we consider a smooth family of compatible almost-complex structures such that at time zero the induced metric is Hermite-Einstein almost-Kähler metric with zero or negative Hermitian scalar curvature. We prove, under certain hypothesis, the existence of a smooth family of compatible almost-complex structures, diffeomorphic at each time to the initial one, and inducing constant Hermitian scalar curvature metrics.
