A locally decomposable complex -form on a real -manifold, with nowhere zero, determines an almost complex structure. The intrinsic rank- subbundle is locally spanned by the factors of . The nonvanishing condition gives . Set on and on . This commutes with conjugation, so comes from a unique real bundle endomorphism with square .
If and , differentiating gives . Only the component of can survive this wedge product; multiplication by is injective on that component. Thus no has a part. The bracket and differential-form criteria for integrability make the induced almost complex structure integrable. Local decomposability is part of the hypothesis and is not implied solely by nonvanishing of .
