A Hermitian manifold is a complex manifold with a Hermitian metric on its holomorphic tangent space. Likewise, an almost Hermitian manifold is an almost complex manifold with a Hermitian metric on its holomorphic tangent space.
On a Hermitian manifold the metric can be written in local holomorphic coordinates (zα) as
where are the components of a positive-definite Hermitian matrix.

Famous quotes containing the word manifold:
“They had met, and included in their meeting the thrust of the manifold grass stems, the cry of the peewit, the wheel of the stars.”
