Yau's almost-complex-to-complex conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let n≥3n\geq 3, and let N2nN^{2n} be a closed 2n2n-dimensional manifold. An almost complex structure on NN is an endomorphism JJ of the tangent bundle satisfying J2=−Id⁡J^2=-\operatorname{Id}; a complex structure is an integrable almost complex structure.

Yau's conjecture. For n≥3n\geq 3, any closed 2n2n-manifold admitting an almost complex structure will also admit a complex structure.

In real dimension six this includes the famous question of whether S6S^6 admits a complex structure. No closed 2n2n-manifold with n≥3n\geq 3 is currently known to be almost complex but not complex, so the conjecture remains open.
