Some of the most important G-Structures of the first kind [1] are those defined by linear operators satisfying algebraic relations. If the linear operator J acting on the complexified space of a differentiable manifold V satisfies a relation of the form

where I is the identity operator, the manifold has an almost complex structure ([2] [3]). The structures defined by

are the almost product structures ([3] [4]).
