ON THE GEOMETRY OF ALMOST HERMITIAN SYMMETRIC STRUCTURES Jan Slov\'ak Key words: $|1|$-graded Lie algebras, geometric structures, AHS structures, natural operators, invariant operators, Cartan connections. 1991 Math. Subject Classification: 53C10, 53C05. Abstract: The almost Hermitian symmetric structures include several important geometries, e.g\. the conformal, projective, quaternionic or almost Grassmannian ones. The conformal case is known best and several efficient techniques have been worked out in the last 90 years. The present note provides links of the development presented in \cite{CSS1, CSS2, CSS3, CSS4} to several other approaches and it suggests extensions of some techniques to all geometries in question.
