Usage in scientific papers

Since K G is J invariant, this identification induces a generalized almost complex structure J red on E red , whose +i-eigenbundle agrees with the reduced Dirac structure Lred .
Generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler quotients

Since G (K G ) = K G , we can also transport the generalized metric G to a generalized metric G red on E red , and since G and J commute pointwise, the same holds for their restrictions to K G .
Generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler quotients

Hence they can be reduced to E red , and the reduced metric G red is compatible with both reduced generalized complex structures.
Generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler quotients

The reduced Courant algebroid, as described in Example 3.3, is simply T M red ⊕ T ∗M red , where M red = µ−1 (0)/G.
Generalized Kahler and hyper-Kahler quotients

It follows that J red preserves T M red , and and the space on the left is invariant under J I .
