Abstract

We classify compact self-dual almost-Kähler four-manifolds of positive type and zero type. In particular, using LeBrun’s result, we show that any self-dual almost-Kähler metric on a manifold which is diffeomorphic to \({{\mathbb {C}}}{{\mathbb {P}}}_{2}\) is the Fubini-Study metric on \({{\mathbb {C}}}{{\mathbb {P}}}_{2}\) up to rescaling. In case of negative type, we classify compact self-dual almost-Kähler four-manifolds with J-invariant ricci tensor.
