“Non- existence of certain Einstein metrics on some symplectic manifolds”

Abstract:

e exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition for a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ to admit an $\omega$- compatible Einstein metric. This research was motivated by the Goldberg conjecture asserting that a compact symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with an $\omega$- compatible Einstein metric is Kaehler. This is a joint work with F. Massamba.
