    Strominger connection and pluriclosed metrics

    In this paper, we prove a conjecture raised by Angella, Otal, Ugarte, and Villacampa recently, which states that if the Strominger connection (also known as Bismut connection) of a compact Hermitian manifold is K\"ahler-like, in the sense that its curvature tensor obeys all the symmetries of the curvature of a K\"ahler manifold, then the metric must be pluriclosed. Actually, we show that Strominger K\"ahler-like is equivalent to the pluriclosedness of the Hermitian metric plus the parallelness of the torsion, even without the compactness assumption

    Complex nilmanifolds and K\"ahler-like connections

    Full text link
    In this note, we analyze the question of when will a complex nilmanifold have K\"ahler-like Strominger (also known as Bismut), Chern, or Riemannian connection, in the sense that the curvature of the connection obeys all the symmetries of that of a K\"ahler metric. We give a classification in the first two cases and a partial description in the third case. It would be interesting to understand these questions for all Lie-Hermitian manifolds, namely, Lie groups equipped with a left invariant complex structure and a compatible left invariant metric
