Almost complex manifolds (32Q60) General geometric structures on manifolds (almost complex, almost product structures, etc.) (53C15)

Abstract: We show that the only rational homology spheres which can admit almost complex structures occur in dimensions two and six. Moreover, we provide infinitely many examples of six-dimensional rational homology spheres which admit almost complex structures, and infinitely many which do not. We then show that if a closed almost complex manifold has sum of Betti numbers three, then its dimension must be a power of two.
