Topological and geometric aspects of almost Kahler manifolds via harmonic theory

摘要

The well-known Kahler identities naturally extend to the non-integrable setting. This paper deduces several geometric and topological consequences of these extended identities for compact almost Kahler manifolds. Among these are identities of various Laplacians, generalized Hodge and Serre dualities, a generalized hard Lefschetz duality, and a Lefschetz decomposition, all on the space ofd-harmonic forms of pure bidegree. There is also a generalization of Hodge Index Theorem for compact almost Kahler 4-manifolds. In particular, these provide topological bounds on the dimension of the space ofd-harmonic forms of pure bidegree, as well as several new obstructions to the existence of a symplectic form compatible with a given almost complex structure.
