    Weakly complex homogeneous spaces
    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2012) Moroianu, Andrei; Semmelmann, Uwe
    We complete our recent classification [GMS11] of compact inner symmetric spaces with weakly complex tangent bundle by filling up a case which was left open, and extend this classification to the larger category of compact homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristic. We show that a simply connected compact equal rank homogeneous space has weakly complex tangent bundle if and only if it is a product of compact equal rank homogeneous spaces which either carry an invariant almost complex structure (and are classified by Hermann [H56]), or have stably trivial tangent bundle (and are classified by Singhof and Wemmer [SW86]), or belong to an explicit list of weakly complex spaces which have neither stably trivial tangent bundle, nor carry invariant almost complex structures.
