Invariant generalized almost complex structures on real flag manifolds

Abstract

We characterize those real flag manifolds that can be endowed with invariant generalized almost complex structures. We show that no $GM_2$-maximal real flag manifolds admit integrable invariant generalized almost complex structures. We give a concrete description of the generalized complex geometry on the maximal real flags of type $B_2$, $G_2$, $A_3$, and $D_l$ with $l\geq 5$, where we prove that the space of invariant generalized almost complex structures under invariant $B$-transformations is homotopy equivalent to a torus and we classify all invariant generalized almost Hermitian structures on them.
