Abstract

On a pre-quantized symplectic manifold, we show that the symplectic Futaki invariant, which is an obstruction to the existence of constant Hermitian scalar curvature almost-Kähler metrics, is actually an asymptotic invariant. This allows us to deduce a lower bound for the $L^2$-norm of the Hermitian scalar curvature as obtained by S. Donaldson [15] in the Kähler case.
