Abstract

In this paper, we investigate Riemannian curvature constraints on the Kodaira dimension of compact almost Hermitian manifolds. Specifically, for a compact almost Hermitian manifold (M,J,g)(M, J, g) in the Gray-Hervella class W2W3W4\mathcal{W}_2\oplus\mathcal{W}_3\oplus \mathcal{W}_4 with nonnegative Riemannian scalar curvature, we prove that its Kodaira dimension must satisfy κ(M,J)=\kappa(M, J)=-\infty; or κ(M,J)=0\kappa(M, J)=0, in which case (M,J,g)(M,J,g) is a K\"{a}hler Calabi-Yau manifold. The same conclusions also hold for compact Hermitian manifolds with an assumption of nonnegative mixed scalar curvature. As an important example, we study the twistor geometry of a compact anti-self-dual 4-manifold. In particular, for the twistor space with the Eells-Salamon almost complex structure, we show that the Kodaira dimension is zero.
