On Tamed Almost Complex Four‑Manifolds

This paper proves that on any tamed closed almost complex four-manifold(M,J)whose dimension of J-anti-invariant cohomology is equal to the self-dual second Betti number minus one,there exists a new symplectic form compatible with the given almost complex structure J.In particular,if the self-dual second Betti number is one,we give an affirmative answer to a question of Donaldson for tamed closed almost complex four-manifolds.Our approach is along the lines used by Buchdahl to give a unified proof of the Kodaira conjecture.
