Some of the most important G-structures of the first kind (1) are those defined by linear operators satisfying algebraic relations. Let J be a linear operator acting on the complexified space of a differentiable manifold V, and satisfying a relation of the form

where λ is a complex constant and I is the identity operator. In the case λ ≠ 0 the manifold has an almost product structure (2) which in the case λ = i reduces to an almost complex structure (3). In the remaining case, λ = 0, the manifold has an almost tangent structure (4).
