The concept of -convex polarization is the generalization of the concept of Kähler polarization to possibly indefinite Hermitean metrics.
For a Hermitean metric with precisely negative eigenvalues, one speaks of -convex polarization (e.g. Griffiths survey, p. 3).
Hence for a Hermitean manifold with Hermitean metric of signature , then a -convex polarization of it is a symplectic form which in every local coordinate chart has the form
where are the components of the metric in the given chart.
Hence for then a -convex polarization reduces to a Kähler polarization or, algebraically, to a polarized variety.
The Griffiths intermediate Jacobians (see there for more) naturally carry a -convex polarization but not in general a Kähler polarization (Griffiths 68b).
