An almost abelian Lie group is a solvable Lie group with a codimension-one normal abelian subgroup. We characterize almost Hermitian structures on almost abelian Lie groups where the almost complex structure is harmonic with respect to the Hermitian metric. Also, we adapt the Gray-Hervella classification of almost Hermitian structures to the family...

We study left invariant locally conformally product structures on simply connected Lie groups and give their complete description in the solvable unimodular case. Based on previous classification results, we then obtain the complete list of solvable unimodular Lie algebras up to dimension 5 which carry LCP structures, and study the existence of lat...

It is well-known that the product of two Sasakian manifolds carries a 2-parameter family of Hermitian structures $(J_{a,b},g_{a,b})$. We show in this article that the complex structure $J_{a,b}$ is harmonic with respect to $g_{a,b}$, i.e. it is a critical point of the energy functional. Furthermore, we also determine when these Hermitian structures...

We give a characterization of almost abelian Lie groups carrying left invariant hypercomplex structures and we show that the corresponding Obata connection is always flat. We determine when such Lie groups admit HKT metrics and study the corresponding Bismut connection. We obtain the classification of hypercomplex almost abelian Lie groups in dimen...

We introduce the notion of abelian almost contact structures on an odd‐dimensional real Lie algebra g$\mathfrak {g}$. We investigate correspondences with even‐dimensional Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure, and with Kähler Lie algebras when g$\mathfrak {g}$ carries a compatible inner product. The classification of 5‐dimensional...

The holonomy of the Bismut connection on Vaisman manifolds is studied. We prove that if $M^{2n}$ is endowed with a Vaisman structure, then the holonomy group of the Bismut connection is contained in U$(n-1)$. We compute explicitly this group for particular types of manifolds, namely, solvmanifolds and some classical Hopf manifolds.

In this article we show that the only 2-step nilpotent Lie groups which carry a non-degenerate left invariant Killing–Yano 2-form are the complex Lie groups. In the case of 2-step nilpotent complex Lie groups arising from connected graphs, we prove that the space of left invariant Killing–Yano 2-forms is one-dimensional.

We introduce the notion of abelian almost contact structures on an odd dimensional real Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. This a sufficient condition for the structure to be normal. We investigate correspondences with even dimensional real Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure, and with K\"ahler Lie algebras when $\mathfrak g$ carries a c...

In this article we show that the only 2-step nilpotent Lie groups which carry a non-degenerate left invariant Killing-Yano 2-form are the complex Lie groups. In the case of 2-step nilpotent complex Lie groups arising from connected graphs, we prove that the space of left invariant Killing-Yano 2-forms is one-dimensional.

A Hermitian structure on a manifold is called locally conformally Kähler (LCK) if it locally admits a conformal change which is Kähler. In this survey we review recent results of invariant LCK structures on solvmanifolds and present original results regarding the canonical bundle of solvmanifolds equipped with a Vaisman structure, that is, a LCK st...

In this survey we review recent results of invariant LCK structures on solvmanifolds and present original results regarding the canonical bundle of solvmanifolds equipped with a Vaisman structure, that is, a LC...

In this article we show that the only 2-step nilpotent Lie groups which carry a non-degenerate left invariant Killing-Yano 2-form are the complex Lie groups. In the case of 2-step nilpotent complex Lie groups arising from connected graphs, we prove that the space of left invariant Killing-Yano 2-forms is one-dimensional.

We study the existence of lattices in almost abelian Lie groups that admit left invariant locally conformal K\"ahler or locally conformal symplectic structures in order to obtain compact solvmanifolds equipped with these geometric structures. In the former case, we show that such lattices exist only in dimension $4$, while in the latter case we pro...

We characterize unimodular solvable Lie algebras with Vaisman structures in terms of K\"ahler flat Lie algebras equipped with a suitable derivation. Using this characterization we obtain algebraic restrictions for the existence of Vaisman structures and we establish some relations with other geometric notions, such as Sasakian, cok\"ahler and left-...

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a $2n$-dimensional unimodular Lie algebra equipped with a Hermitian structure $(J,F)$ such that the complex structure $J$ is abelian and the fundamental form $F$ is balanced. We prove that the holonomy group of the associated Bismut connection reduces to a subgroup of $SU(n-k)$, being $2k$ the dimension of the center of $\math...

We study 4-dimensional simply connected Lie groups $G$ with left-invariant Riemannian metric $g$ admitting non-trivial conformal Killing 2-forms. We show that either the real line defined by such a form is invariant under the group action, or the metric is half conformally flat. In the first case, the problem reduces to the study of invariant confo...

We search for invariant solutions of the conformal Killing-Yano equation on Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics, focusing on 2-forms. We show that when the Lie group is compact equipped with a bi-invariant metric or 2-step nilpotent, the only invariant solutions occur on the 3-dimensional sphere or on a Heisenberg group. We c...

We study left-invariant locally conformally K\"ahler structures on Lie groups, or equivalently, on Lie algebras. We give some properties of these structures in general, and then we consider the special cases when its complex structure is bi-invariant or abelian. In the former case, we show that no such Lie algebra is unimodular, while in the latter...

Given an almost complex manifold (M, J), we study complex connections with trivial holonomy such that the corresponding torsion is either of type (2, 0) or of type (1, 1) with respect to J. Such connections arise naturally when considering Lie groups, and quotients by discrete subgroups, equipped with bi-invariant and abelian complex structures.

We study the structure of Lie groups admitting left invariant abelian complex structures in terms of commutative associative algebras. If, in addition, the Lie group is equipped with a left invariant Hermitian structure, it turns out that such a Hermitian structure is Kähler if and only if the Lie group is the direct product of several copies of th...

Given an almost complex manifold (M, J), we study complex connections with trivial holonomy and such that the corresponding torsion is either of type (2,0) or of type (1,1) with respect to J. Such connections arise naturally when considering Lie groups, and quotients by discrete subgroups, equipped with bi-invariant and abelian complex structures.

We classify the 6-dimensional Lie algebras that can be endowed with an abelian complex structure and parameterize, on each of these algebras, the space of such structures up to holomorphic isomorphism.

We obtain some general results on Sasakian Lie algebras and prove as a consequence that a (2n + 1)-dimensional nilpotent Lie group admitting left-invariant Sasakian structures is isomorphic to the real Heisenberg group H 2n + 1. Furthermore, we classify Sasakian Lie algebras of dimension five and determine which of them carries a Sasakian α-Einstei...

We study complex product structures on nilpotent Lie algebras, establishing some of their main properties, and then we restrict ourselves to 6 dimensions, obtaining the classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras admitting such structures. We prove that any complex structure which forms part of a complex product structure on a 6-dimensio...

In this work we study a particular class of Lie bialgebras arising from Hermitian structures on Lie algebras such that the metric is ad-invariant. We will refer to them as Lie bialgebras of complex type. These give rise to Poisson Lie groups G whose corresponding duals G∗ are complex Lie groups. We also prove that a Hermitian structure on g with ad...

We characterize real Lie algebras carrying a hypersymplectic structure as bicrossproducts of two symplectic Lie algebras endowed with a compatible flat torsion-free connection. In particular, we obtain the classification of all hypersymplectic structures on 4-dimensional Lie algebras, and we describe the associated metrics on the corresponding Lie...

In this paper we give a procedure to construct hypersymplectic structures on ℝ4n beginning with affine-symplectic data on ℝ2n. These structures are shown to be invariant by a 3-step nilpotent double Lie group and the resulting metrics are complete and not necessarily flat. Explicit examples of this construction are exhibited.

A complex product structure on a manifold is an appropriate combination of a complex structure and a product structure. The existence of such a structure determines many interesting properties of the underlying manifold, notably that the manifold admits a pair of complementary foliations whose leaves carry affine structures. This is due to the exis...

It is the aim of this work to study product structures on four dimensional solvable Lie algebras. We determine all possible paracomplex structures and consider the case when one of the subalgebras is an ideal. These results are applied to the case of Manin triples and complex product structures. We also analyze the three dimensional subalgebras.

A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting a hypersymplectic structure, and we provide a method to construct such hypersymplectic Lie algebras. We use this method in order to obtain the classification of all hypersymplectic structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras, and we describe the associated metrics on the corresponding Lie groups.

A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. Any Lie algebra g with such a structure is even-dimensional and its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. In addition, g splits into the direct sum of two Lie subalgebras of the same dimension, and each of th...
