On taming and compatible symplectic forms (Q253799)

A key observation starting this very interesting paper is Proposition 1.1. If \(X\) is a closed manifold and \(J\in \mathcal{J}_{\text{tame}}\), then there are no non-zero exact \(J\)-anti-invariant \(2\)-forms. Another important results is Theorem 1.2. Suppose that \(W^{4n}\) is a manifold with trivial tangent bundle. Then \(X=W\times S^1\times S^1\) has an almost complex structure \(J\) for which there exist non-zero exact anti-invariant \(2\)-forms. The methods used to establish Theorem 1.2 are very topological; they rely on Gromov's h-principle.
