Abstract

Let J be a unitary almost complex structure on a Riemannian manifold (M, g). If x is a unit tangent vector, let π := Span{x, Jx} be the associated complex line in the tangent bundle of M. The complex Jacobi operator and the complex curvature operators are defined, respectively, by and . We show that if (M, g) is Hermitian or if (M, g) is nearly Kähler, then either the complex Jacobi operator or the complex curvature operator completely determine the full curvature operator; this generalizes a well known result in the real setting to the complex setting. We also show that this result fails for general almost Hermitian manifolds.
