Andrew Swann and his PhD student Giovanni Russo recently submitted a new result on arXiv.

In this paper they consider nearly Kähler 6-manifolds with effective 2-torus symmetry. The multi-moment map for the T2-action becomes an eigenfunction of the Laplace operator. At regular values, they prove the T2-action is necessarily free on the level sets and determines the geometry of three-dimensional quotients. An inverse construction is given locally producing nearly Kähler six-manifolds from three-dimensional data. This is illustrated for structures on the Heisenberg group.
