A manifold is called a complex manifold if it can be covered by coordinate patches with complex coordinates in which the coordinates in overlapping patches are related by complex analytic transformations. On such a manifold scalar multiplication by i in the tangent space has an invariant meaning. An even dimensional 2n real manifold is called almost complex if there is a linear transformation J defined on the tangent space at every point (and varying differentiably with respect to local coordinates) whose square is minus the identity, i.e. if there is a real tensor field h' satisfying
