Generalized almost-Kähler–Ricci solitons

We generalize Kähler–Ricci solitons to the almost-Kähler setting as the zeros of Inoue's moment map [25], and show that their existence is an obstruction to the existence of first-Chern–Einstein almost-Kähler metrics on compact symplectic Fano manifolds. We prove deformation results of such metrics in the 4-dimensional case. Moreover, we study the Lie algebra of holomorphic vector fields on 2n-dimensional compact symplectic Fano manifolds admitting generalized almost-Kähler–Ricci solitons. In particular, we partially extend Matsushima's theorem [41] to compact first-Chern–Einstein almost-Kähler manifolds.
