Abstract: For a closed smooth manifold M admitting a symplectic structure, we define a smooth topological invariant Z(M) using almost-K"ahler metrics, i.e. Riemannian metrics compatible with symplectic structures. We also introduce Z(M,[[omega]]) depending on symplectic deformation equivalence class [[omega]]. We first prove that there exists a 6-dimensional smooth manifold M with more than one deformation equivalence classes with different signs of Z(M,[[omega]]). Using Z invariants, we set up a Kazdan-Warner type problem of classifying symplectic manifolds into three categories. We finally prove that on every closed symplectic manifold (M,omega) of dimension geq4, any smooth function which is somewhere negative and somewhere zero can be the scalar curvature of an almost-K"ahler metric compatible with a symplectic form which is deformation equivalent to omega.
