Mar 29, 2011 at 12:28 comment added Dmitri Panov Paul, thanks! I it seems that your are right with $e+\tau=0$ and $4CP^2$ does not have an almost complex structure. I'll change this
Mar 29, 2011 at 11:37 comment added Paul Dmitri: You're right. make that $4 CP^2$.
Mar 29, 2011 at 9:34 comment added Dmitri Panov Paul $5+3=0$ mod $4$, so your first sentence is wrong –

Mar 29, 2011 at 2:52 comment added Paul (make that $\pi_3S^2$ in the last sentence)
Mar 29, 2011 at 2:50 comment added Paul If $M$ admits a almost complex structure, $e+\tau=0$ mod 4 ($e$=Euler characteristic, $\tau$=signature).So eg $CP^2\# CP^2\# CP^2$ doesnt admit an almost complex structure, even though $c=(3,3,1)$ satisfies $c^2=19= 2e+3\tau$. Also,if I′m not mistaken,$[S^1\times S^3, S^2]=\pi_3(S^2)\oplus \pi_4(S^2)$: the cofibration sequence $$S^1 v S^3\to S^1\times S^3\to S^4 $$ gives the exact sequence $[S^4,S^2]\to [S^1\times S^3,S^2]\to [S^1 v S^3,S^2]$, and $[S^1 v S^3, S^2]=\pi_2S^2 $ (I think), so the Hopf invariant misses the $Z/2=\pi_4(S^2)$.
