Abstract

We study and classify almost complex totally geodesic submanifolds of the nearly Kähler flag manifold \(F_{1,2}(\mathbb C^3)\), and of its semi-Riemannian counterpart. We also develop a structural approach to the nearly Kähler flag manifold \(F_{1,2}(\mathbb C^3)\), expressing for example the curvature tensor in terms of the nearly Kähler structure J and the three canonical orthogonal complex structures.
