Key Words: Hybrid tensor, Hermitian manifold, Kaehlerian manifold, Tachibana operator. 1. Introduction Let M be an almost Hermitian manifold with almost complex structure ϕ and hybrid Riemannian metric tensor field g. Then ϕ2 = −I, g(ϕX, ϕY ) = g(X, Y ) (1) for any vector field X and Y on M . We denote by O the operator of covariant differentiation with respect to g in M . If the almost complex structure ϕ of M satisfies (OX ϕ)Y + (OY ϕ)X = 0 for any vector field X and Y on M, then the manifold M is called a nearly Kaehlerian manifold (Tachibana spaces). The condition above reduces to (OX ϕ)X = 0.

By a simple computation we have N (X, Y ) = −4ϕ(OX ϕ)Y. Proposition: If the Nijenhuis torsion N of a nearly Kaehlerian manifold vanishes, then M is a Keahlarian manifold. We define a Tachibana operator [3] (see also [2, 4]) Φϕ ξ associated with an almost complex structure ϕ and an arbitrary X ∈ =10 (M ) and applied to a tensor ξ ∈ =02 (M ) as Φϕ ξ(X, Z1 , Z2 ) = (LϕX ξ)(Z1 , Z2 ) − LX (ξ ◦ ϕ)(Z1 , Z2 ) (2) +ξ(Z1 , ϕ(LX Z2 )) − ξ(ϕZ1 , LX Z2 ), where LX denotes the operator of Lie derivation with respect to X and (ξ ◦ ϕ)(Z1 , Z2 ) = ξ(ϕZ1 , Z2 ). Expression (2) defines a tensor field Φϕ ξ ∈ =02 (M ) if and only if ξ as a pure tensor [4]. When Φϕ ξ(X, Z1 , Z2 ) = (LϕX ξ)(Z1 , Z2 ) − LX (ξ ◦ ϕ)(Z1 , Z2 ) = 0 (3) for a pure tensor ξ and for any X, Z1 , Z2 ∈ =10 (M ), M being a manifold with almost complex structure ϕ, ξ is said to be almost .
