Abstract
Let (M,I, \omega, \Omega) be a nearly Kaehler 6-manifold, that is, an SU(3)-manifold with the (3,0)-form \Omega and the Hermitian form \omega which satisfies

, for a non-zero real constant \lambda. We develop an analogue of Kaehler relations on M, proving several useful identities for various intrinsic Laplacians on M. When M is compact, these identities bring powerful results about cohomology of M. We show that harmonic forms on M admit the Hodge decomposition, and prove that H^{p,q}(M)=0 unless p=q or (p=1, q=2) or (p=2, q=1).
