| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:47 | comment | added | Willie Wong | How exactly are you defining torsion then? On a real differential manifold with an affine connection, the torsion tensor is manifestly real by definition. You can't just slot in complex values and hope it would work out. | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | Eris | @WillieWong sure, I edited the question. I'm not specifically on a complex manifold but I'm trying to understand what kind of manifold would result from such a choice of a complex torsion. | |

| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:32 | comment | added | Willie Wong | 24 components only in certain spatial dimensions, you should probably specify the dimension (I think you mean 4 dimensions, since the "axial vector part" is determined by a three form.) Also; please explain what you mean by "complex". Are you working with an almost complex manifold? | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:11 | comment | added | YCor | (I fixed "axialvector part" to "axial vector part" but maybe it should be "axial part", please check.) | |
