A \(4\) dimensional manifold is called Walker, if it is endowed with a semi-Riemannian metric of neutral signature \((++--)\) and a parallel distribution of null-planes. Such a Walker manifold has two natural associated, commuting almost complex structures, \(J\), \(J'\), and thus two Kähler forms \(\Omega\), \(\Omega'\). In this paper the author considers a family of Walker metrics on \(4\)-manifolds and examines conditions implying that the Kähler form \(\Omega\) is symplectic and/or that the almost complex structure \(J\) is integrable. A specific example of a nonflat, Kähler-Einstein Walker metric on a \(4\)-torus constructed by \textit{J. Petean} [Commun. Math. Phys. 189, No. 1, 227--235 (1997; Zbl 0898.53046)] belongs to a subfamily of the types of Walker metrics considered here, all of which are shown to be Kähler-Einstein. | |||

A \(4\) dimensional manifold is called Walker, if it is endowed with a semi-Riemannian metric of neutral signature \((++--)\) and a parallel distribution of null-planes. Such a Walker manifold has two natural associated, commuting almost complex structures, \(J\), \(J'\), and thus two Kähler forms \(\Omega\), \(\Omega'\). In this paper the author considers a family of Walker metrics on \(4\)-manifolds and examines conditions implying that the Kähler form \(\Omega\) is symplectic and/or that the almost complex structure \(J\) is integrable. A specific example of a nonflat, Kähler-Einstein Walker metric on a \(4\)-torus constructed by \textit{J. Petean} [Commun. Math. Phys. 189, No. 1, 227--235 (1997; Zbl 0898.53046)] belongs to a subfamily of the types of Walker metrics considered here, all of which are shown to be Kähler-Einstein.
