Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate that on an almost Hermitian manifold (M2n,J,ds2)(M^{2n}, J, ds^2), a 2-form φ=SΦ\varphi=S^*\Phi, the pulling back of the K\"ahler form Φ\Phi on the twistor bundle over M2nM^{2n}, is non-degenerate if the squared norm N2|N|^2 of the Nijenhuis tensor is less than 645\frac{64}{5} when n3n\geq 3 or less than 1616 when n=2n=2. As a corollary, there exists no orthogonal almost complex structure on the standard sphere (S6,ds02)(S^6, ds_0^2) with N2<645|N|^2<\frac{64}{5} everywhere.
