Abstract

On an almost complex manifold, a quasi-Kahler metric, with canonical connection in the c-projective class of a given minimal complex connection, is equivalent to a nondegenerate solution of the c-projectively invariant metrizability equation. For this overdetermined equa-tion, replacing this maximal rank condition on solutions with a nondegeneracy condition on the prolonged system yields a strictly wider class of solutions with non-vanishing (generalized) scalar curvature. We study the geometries induced by this class of solutions. For each solution, the strict point-wise signature partitions the underlying manifold into strata, in a manner that generalizes the model, a certain Lie group orbit decomposition of CPm. We describe the smooth nature and geometric structure of each strata component, generalizing the geometries of the embedded orbits in the model. This includes a quasi-Kahler metric on the open strata components that becomes singular at the strata boundary. The closed strata inherit almost CR-structures and can be viewed as a c-projective infinity for the given quasi-Kahler metric.
