Dec 1, 2010 at 12:50 comment added Florin Belgun Right, so the answer is the maximum principle applied to an operator with the same principal symbol as the Laplacian (The difference is a first-order term coming from the brackets [X,JX] which are non-zero in general). About the local question, I agree that if there are n independent functions around a point (dim M=2n), then the J is integrable around that point. Probably, if the J satifies further restrictions (e.g, nearly Kähler in dimension 6), then the existence of ONE non-constant holomorphic function would already imply the integrability. But this is another question.
