Abstract

We show that all homotopy CPn\mathbb{C}P^ns, smooth closed manifolds with the oriented homotopy type of CPn\mathbb{C}P^n, admit almost complex structures for 3n63 \leq n \leq 6, and classify these structures by their Chern classes. Our methods provide a new proof of a result of Libgober and Wood on the classification of almost complex structures on homotopy CP4\mathbb{C}P^4s.
