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 $omega$.
