Abstract

On a compact almost complex manifold $(M^{2n},J)$, theconditions that $J$ admits tamed or compatible symplectic forms are characterized in termsof exact forms. In dimension 4, it is shown that $J$ admits acompatible symplectic form if and only if $J$ admitstamed symplectic forms with arbitrary $J$-anti-invariant parts.
