== Distinction between Hermitian Metric and Hermitian Structure==
== 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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

You're right and I changed it. VectorPosse 06:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
