Symplectic and Kähler structures on $$\mathbb CP^1$$-bundles over $$\mathbb CP^2$$

Abstract

AbstractWe show that there exist symplectic structures on a $$\mathbb {CP}^1$$ CP 1 -bundle over $$\mathbb {CP}^2$$ CP 2 that do not admit a compatible Kähler structure. These symplectic structures were originally constructed by Tolman and they have a Hamiltonian $${\mathbb {T}}^2$$ T 2 -symmetry. Tolman’s manifold was shown to be diffeomorphic to a $$\mathbb CP^1$$ C P 1 -bundle over $$\mathbb {CP}^{2}$$ CP 2 by Goertsches, Konstantis, and Zoller. The proof of our result relies on Mori theory, and on classical facts about holomorphic vector bundles over $$\mathbb {CP}^{2}$$ CP 2 .
