Abstract

We study an odd-dimensional analogue of the Goldberg conjecture for compact Einstein almost K\"ahler manifolds. We give an explicit non-compact example of an Einstein almost cok\"ahler manifold that is not cok\"ahler. We prove that compact Einstein almost cok\"ahler manifolds with non-negative *-scalar curvature are cok\"ahler (indeed, transversely Calabi-Yau); more generally, we give a lower and upper bound for the *-scalar curvature in the case that the structure is not cok\"ahler. We prove similar bounds for almost K\"ahler Einstein manifolds that are not K\"ahler.
