An almost Kähler manifold is a manifold with a reduction of the structure group of the tangent bundle to \(U(n)\), and such that the corresponding Hermitian 2-form \(\Omega\) is closed. It is thus in particular a symplectic manifold. The author shows that a compact, 4-dimensional Einstein almost Kähler manifold with positive scalar curvature is necessarily a Kähler manifold. This answers, in this particular dimension, a conjecture raised by \textit{S. F. Goldberg} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 21, 96--100 (1969; Zbl 0174.25002)]. The proof uses curvature identities for almost Kähler manifolds and inequalities for the Gauss-Bonnet integrand and Pontryagin form of a four-dimensional Einstein manifold to derive an inequality \[ \int_{M}(\lambda +\frac{1}{4}\| \nabla \Omega \|^2)\| \nabla \Omega \|^2\le 0, \] where \(4\lambda\) is the scalar curvature. Consequently the Hermitian form must be covariant constant if \(\lambda\) is positive.
