Nonintegrability conjecture for twists of the standard almost complex structure on the 6-sphere

Let S6S^6 carry its standard almost complex structure JJ, and let Aut(TS6)\operatorname{Aut}(TS^6) denote the automorphisms of its tangent bundle. For ψAut(TS6)\psi\in\operatorname{Aut}(TS^6), write JψJ^\psi for the twisted almost complex structure associated with ψ\psi. Nonintegrability conjecture. The almost complex structure JψJ^\psi is nonintegrable for every ψAut(TS6)\psi\in\operatorname{Aut}(TS^6). This conjecture concerns whether twisting the standard almost complex structure on the 6-sphere can produce an integrable one, a question related to longstanding attempts to understand complex structures on S6S^6.
