Generalized Kähler almost abelian Lie groups

Abstract

We study left-invariant generalized Kähler structures on almost abelian Lie groups, i.e., on solvable Lie groups with a codimension-one abelian normal subgroup. In particular, we classify six-dimensional almost abelian Lie groups which admit a left-invariant complex structure and establish which of those have a left-invariant Hermitian structure whose fundamental 2-form is $\partial \bar \partial$-closed. We obtain a classification of six-dimensional generalized Kähler almost abelian Lie groups and determine the 6-dimensional compact almost abelian solvmanifolds admitting an invariant generalized Kähler structure. Moreover, we prove some results in relation to the existence of holomorphic Poisson structures and to the pluriclosed flow.
