Existence of symplectic surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we show that every degree 2 homology class of a 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold is represented by an immersed symplectic surface if it has positive symplectic area. Moreover, the symplectic surface can be chosen to be embedded if 2n is at least 6. We also analyze the additional conditions under which embedded symplectic representatives exist in dimension 4.

Twisted Alexander Polynomials, Symplectic 4-manifolds and Surfaces of Minimal Complexity
Let M be a 4-manifold which admits a free circle action. We use twisted Alexander polynomials to study the existence of symplectic structures and the minimal complexity of surfaces in M . The results on the existence of symplectic structures summarize previous results of the authors in [FV08a, FV08b, FV07]. The results on surfaces of minimal complexity are new.
متن کاملLagrangian spheres, symplectic surfaces and the symplectic mapping class group
Given a Lagrangian sphere in a symplectic 4-manifold (M,ω) with b+ = 1, we find embedded symplectic surfaces intersecting it minimally. When the Kodaira dimension κ of (M,ω) is −∞, this minimal intersection property turns out to be very powerful for both the uniqueness and existence problems of Lagrangian spheres. On the uniqueness side, for a symplectic rational manifold and any class which is...
متن کاملA new symplectic surgery: the 3-fold sum
We deene a symplectic surgery along positively intersecting sym-plectic surfaces in 4-manifolds, the generalized symplectic sum, and prove an existence theorem for the special case of a 3-fold sum. With a slight generalization of the 3-fold sum, we show how to sum along immersed surfaces and indicate a relation between the sums and algebraic desingularization. We use images of the moment map fo...
متن کاملFlow of Symplectic Surfaces
Geometers have been interested in constructing minimal surfaces for long time. One possible way to produce such surfaces is to deform a given surface by its mean curvature vector. More precisely, the surface evolves in the gradient flow of the area functional, and such a flow is the so-called mean curvature flow. A mean curvature flow, however, develops singularity after finite time in general ...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Invariant Sets of a Quasiperiodic Perturbation of a Symplectic Map
Partially supported by NSERC grant OGP-0121848 and European Community grant CHBGT-CT93-0244. We study the behavior of invariant sets of a volume-preserving map that is a quasiperiodic perturbation of a symplectic map, using approximation by periodic orbits. We present numerical results for analyticity domains of invariant surfaces, behavior after breakdown, and a critical function describing br...
