Abstract

By using moving frames and directred digraphs, we study invariant (1,2)-symplectic structures on complex flag manifolds. Let $F$ be a flag manifold with height $k-1$. We show that there is a $k$-dimensional family of invariant (1,2)-symplectic metrics of any parabolic structure on $F$. We also prove any invariant almost complex structure $J$ on $F$ with height 4 admits an invariant (1,2)-symplectic metric if and only if $J$ is parabolic or integrable.
