AbstractWe prove that the Calabi–Yau equation can be solved on the Kodaira–Thurston manifold for all given T2-invariant volume forms. This provides support for Donaldson's conjecture that Yau's theorem has an extension to symplectic 4-manifolds with compatible but non-integrable almost complex structures.

We obtain new families of(1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on the full complex flag manifoldsF(n). Forn≥5, we characterizen−3differentn-dimensional families of(1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics onF(n). Each of these families corresponds to a different class of nonintegrable invariant almost complex structures onF(n).

We define and study branched shadows of 4-manifolds as a combination of branched spines of 3-manifolds and of Turaev's shadows. We use these objects to combinatorially represent 4-manifolds equipped with Spinc-structures and homotopy classes of almost complex structures. We then use branched shadows to study complex 4-manifolds and prove that each almost complex structure on a 4-dimensional handlebody is homotopic to a complex one.
