The theorem states that, for a smooth manifold X modeled on four-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ⁴ (charted with smooth transition maps) that is Hausdorff, second countable, compact and connected, and for an almost complex structure J on X, if some symplectic two-form α tames J, then there exists a symplectic two-form η that is compatible with J. Here a two-form assigns to each point x a continuous alternating real bilinear form on the tangent space at x, and an almost complex structure J is a smooth field of continuous linear endomorphisms of the tangent spaces with J(Jv) = −v for every tangent vector v. A two-form is symplectic when it is smooth (its pullbacks along smooth maps from open subsets of ℝ⁴ are smooth), closed (the exterior derivative of each such pullback vanishes), and nondegenerate (a tangent vector v with α(v,w) = 0 for all w must be zero). The form α tames J when α(v, Jv) > 0 for every nonzero tangent vector v at every point. The form η is compatible with J when it tames J and is J-invariant, meaning η(Ju, Jv) = η(u, v) for all tangent vectors u and v at every point. This is a formal statement admitted without proof.
