Given an almost complex manifold $$(M^n,J)$$, the authors compute a $$J-d$$ decomposition of each tensor field $$A$$ of type $$(1,3)$$ on $$M^n$$ which satisfies for any vector fields the following conditions: $$X$$, $$Y$$, $$Z$$.
$$A(X,Y,Z)= -A(Y,X,Z)$$, $$\underset{X,Y,Z}{}\sigma\, A(X,Y,Z)= 0$$, $$A(X,Y,Z)= A(JX,JY, Z)$$,
$$\text{tr\,}{\mathcal A}(X, Y)= 0$$,
where $${\mathcal A}(X,Y,)(Z)= A(X,Y,Z)$$.
If $$n\geq 4$$, each tensor field $$A$$ can be uniquely expressed as a sum of a tensor field $$B$$, which is $$J$$-traceless, and of five tensor fields depending on the Ricci tensor associated with $$A$$.
In particular, considering $$A$$ as the Riemannian curvature of a Kähler manifold, the corresponding $$J$$-traceless tensor $$B$$ is the holomorphically-projective curvature.
