This article is mostly a writeup of two talks, the first [3] given in the Besse Seminar at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1998 and the second [4] given at the 2000 International Congress on Differential Geometry in memory of Alfred Gray in Bilbao, Spain. It beginswith a discussion of basic geometry of almost complex 6-manifolds. In particular, I define a 2-parameter family of intrinsic first-order functionals on almost complex structures on 6-manifolds and compute their Euler-Lagrange equations. It also includes a discussion of a natural generalization of holomorphic bundles over complex manifolds to the almost complex case. The general almost complexmanifold will not admit any nontrivial bundles of this type, but there is a large class of nonintegrable almost complex manifolds for which there are such nontrivial bundles. For example, the G2-invariant almost complex structure on the 6-sphere admits such nontrivial bundles. This class of almost complex manifolds in dimension 6 will be referred to as quasi-integrable. Some of the properties of quasi-integrable structures (both almost complex and unitary) are developed and some examples are given. However, it turns out that quasi-integrability is not an involutive condition, so the full generality of these structures in Cartan’s sense is not well-understood.
