Let $(M,J)$ be a $2n$-dimensional almost complex manifold and let $x\in M$. We define the notion of almost complex blow-up of $(M,J)$ at $x$. We prove the existence of almost complex blow-ups at $x$ under suitable assumptions on the almost…

This paper studies existence of $n=4k (k>1)$ dimensional simply-connected closed almost complex manifold with Betti number $ b_i=0$ except $i=0, n/2, n$. We characterize all the rational cohomology rings of such manifolds and show they must…
