Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the dimension of the J-anti-invariant cohomology subgroup \(H_J^-\) on \({\mathbb {T}}^4\). Inspired by the concrete example, \({\mathbb {T}}^4\), we get that: on a closed symplectic 4-dimensional manifold \((M, \omega )\), \(h^-_J=0\) for generic \(\omega \)-compatible almost complex structures.
