Deformations of nearly Kähler structures

Andrei Moroianu, Paul-Andi Nagy and Uwe Semmelmann

Vol. 235 (2008), No. 1, 57–72
Abstract

We study the space of nearly Kähler structures on compact 6-dimensional manifolds. In particular, we prove that the space of infinitesimal deformations of a strictly nearly Kähler structure (with scalar curvature scal) modulo the group of diffeomorphisms is isomorphic to the space of primitive coclosed (1,1)-eigenforms of the Laplace operator for the eigenvalue 2 scal5.
