I think this article is a bit confusing at the moment. Should we not make a distinction between a Hermitian metric (given by the formula in the text) and a Hermitian structure (that is a smoothly varying choice of Hermitian form)? We could then show how each was related to the other. It's a simple enough point, but potentially confusing for newcomers. |

In the introduction, shouldn't the almost complex structure preserve the metric, rather than the other way around? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.102.0.171 (talk) 01:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Distinction between Hermitian Metric and Hermitian Structure
I think this article is a bit confusing at the moment. Should we not make a distinction between a Hermitian metric (given by the formula in the text) and a Hermitian structure (that is a smoothly varying choice of Hermitian form)? We could then show how each was related to the other. It's a simple enough point, but potentially confusing for newcomers.78.151.55.190 (talk) 00:02, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Topological manifold?
Shouldn't the intro say smooth manifold? How exactly does one define an almost complex structure on a topological manifold? -- Fropuff 03:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
