Symplectic taming of an almost complex structure by a symplectic
form
means that
for every nonzero tangent vector . Compatibility requires in addition
. A compatible pair defines the
Riemannian metric
. A Kähler
form is compatible with its complex structure,
but neither taming nor compatibility requires that an almost
complex structure be integrable. The Donaldson
tamed-to-compatible conjecture asks whether existence of a taming form in real dimension four forces
existence of a compatible one.
