Integrable almost-complex structure
An almost-complex structure induced locally by holomorphic coordinate charts.
An almost-complex structure on a smooth -manifold is integrable if every point has local coordinates in whose ordinary multiplication by induces . Such charts have holomorphic transition maps and therefore make the manifold a complex manifold.
By the Newlander–Nirenberg theorem, integrability is equivalent to vanishing of the Nijenhuis tensor. The condition is automatic in real dimension two but is a genuine differential constraint in higher dimensions.
