An almost complex structure on a symplectic manifold is compatible with whenand is a positive-definite inner product. Every symplectic vector bundle admits a compatible almost complex structure.
Choose an auxiliary Riemannian metric and define the skew-adjoint bundle map by . Thenis a compatible almost complex structure. The positive square root is defined fiberwise by the spectral theorem for normal operators, and its smooth dependence on makes smooth.
If a compatible almost complex structure is prescribed along a closed symplectic submanifold and preserves , it extends to one on . Choose a compatible structure separately on and its symplectic normal bundle, use the associated metric along , extend that metric to , and apply the metric construction of a compatible almost complex structure.
