Hermitian conformal classes and almost Kähler structures on 4-manifolds (Q1807647): Difference between revisions

The authors prove that on most compact complex surfaces which admit symplectic forms, each Hermitian conformal class contains almost Kähler metrics. The number of symplectic forms compatible with a given metric can also be described. For precise formulations of the results, the reader should see the original paper, where many motivations are also presented. As a consequence, one gets for instance the following: On blow-ups of primary Kodaira surfaces, Hermitian conformal classes do not contain almost Kähler metrics. There are also other applications. Among others, alternative proofs of the results of \textit{C. LeBrun} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 5, 535-555 (1997; Zbl 0901.53028)] about the Yamabe constants of Hermitian conformal classes are given. Moreover, some particular answers to a question of \textit{D. E. Blair} [Differ. Geom. Appl., Proc. Conf. Dubrovnik 1988, 49-58 (1989; Zbl 0691.53024)] concerning isometries of almost Kähler metrics are stated.
