Hessian Comparison and Spectrum Lower Bound of Almost Hermitian Manifolds

Abstract

The authors obtain a complex Hessian comparison for almost Hermitian manifolds, which generalizes the Laplacian comparison for almost Hermitian manifolds by Tossati, and a sharp spectrum lower bound for compact quasi Kähler manifolds and a sharp complex Hessian comparison on nearly Kähler manifolds that generalize previous results of Aubin, Li Wang and Tam-Yu.

Keywords
