Title: Topology of almost complex structures in dimension 6

Abstract: "I will explain how to express the space of almost complex structures J(M) on a six manifold M as the quotient of a space of sections of a sphere bundle over M by as S^1-action. This leads to a computation of the rational homotopy type of J(M) in most cases, as well as a simple description of the homotopy type in others, such as when M is the six-sphere. "
