    The authors define Walker 4-manifold as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold \(M\) with a metric of the form \[ g= dx_1dx_3+ dx_2dx_4+ adx_3^2+ bdx_4^2 \] where \(a,b\) are functions of all coordinates. It admits a parallel field of 2-planes spanned by \(\partial_{x_1}\), \(\partial_{x_2}\). They consider a skew-symmetric almost complex structure \(J\) on \(M\), explicitly given in terms of the functions \(a,b\). They give a necessary and sufficient conditions that \(J\) is integrable, that the corresponding Kähler 2-form \(g\circ J\) is closed and that \((g,J)\) is a Kähler structure.
