I am looking for a proof or counterexample for following assertion

Each coadjoint orbit of a compact connected Lie group $G$ admits a $G$-invariant generalized complex structure (In sense of Nigel Hitchin)

In 1950s A. Borel, R. Bott, J. L. Koszul, F. Hirzebruch et al. investigated the coadjoint orbits as complex homogeneous manifolds. It was proven that each coadjoint orbit of a compact connected Lie group $G$ admits a canonical G-invariant complex structure and the only (within homotopies) $G$-invariant Kählerian metrics.

Reference: Bott R. The Geometry and Representation Theory of Compact Lie Groups, In: Representation Theory of Lie Groups, London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Cambridge Univ. Press, 34 (1979) 65–90.

    $\begingroup$ I thought that complex and symplectic structures are two canonical examples giving generalized complex structures ? $\endgroup$ Jan 27, 2014 at 14:58
