Abstract

Let \({\mathbb {F}}_{\Theta }=U/K_\Theta \) be a partial flag manifold, where \(K_\Theta \) is the centralizer of a torus in U. We study U-invariant almost Hermitian structures on \({\mathbb {F}}_{\Theta }\). The classification of these structures are naturally related with the system \(R_{\mathfrak {t}}\) of \({\mathfrak {t}}\)-roots associated to \({\mathbb {F}}_{\Theta }\). We introduced the notion of connectedness by triples with zero sum in a general subset of a vector space and proved that the set of \({\mathfrak {t}}\)-roots satisfies this property. Using this result, the invariant \({\mathcal {G}}_1\) structures on \({\mathbb {F}}_{\Theta }\) are completely classified.
