Are the odd-degree Betti numbers of a compact Almost-Kahler Einstein four manifold necessarily even ?

    $\begingroup$ If some of Betti numbers were odd this would obviously contradict to Goldberg's conjecture, stating that Almost-Kahler Einstein manifolds are Kahler. I assume Goldberg's conjecture is open in all dimensions? $\endgroup$ Mar 5, 2011 at 10:19

    $\begingroup$ this is W. Watson's conjecture, which it seems is still open: facpub.stjohns.edu/~watsonw/diffgeom.htm (edited "odd" --> "odd-degree" to avoid a contradictio in terminis) $\endgroup$ Sep 5, 2015 at 10:38
