On second non-HLC degree of closed symplectic manifold

Abstract

In this note, we show that for a closed almost-Kähler manifold [Formula: see text] with the almost complex structure [Formula: see text] satisfies [Formula: see text] the space of de Rham harmonic forms is contained in the space of symplectic-Bott–Chern harmonic forms. In particular, suppose that [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional, if the self-dual Betti number [Formula: see text], then we prove that the second non-HLC degree measures the gap between the de Rham and the symplectic-Bott–Chern harmonic forms.
