OpenAI reports taming implies compatibility in four dimensions

If a smooth almost complex structure on a closed connected smooth four-manifold is tamed by a symplectic form, then the same almost complex structure is compatible with some smooth symplectic form.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

If a smooth almost complex structure on a closed connected smooth four-manifold is tamed by a symplectic form, then the same almost complex structure is compatible with some smooth symplectic form.

Why it matters

If correct, settles Donaldson’s general tamed-to-compatible existence question in real dimension four.

What counts as progress

Does every tamed almost complex structure on a closed four-manifold admit a compatible symplectic form?
