Einstein Metrics, Symplectic Minimality, and Pseudo-Holomorphic Curves
نویسنده
چکیده
Let (M4, g, ω) be a compact, almost-Kähler Einstein manifold of negative star-scalar curvature. Then (M,ω) is a minimal symplectic 4-manifold of general type. In particular, M cannot be differentiably decomposed as a connected sum N#CP2.

Minimality and Irreducibility of Symplectic Four-manifolds
We prove that all minimal symplectic four-manifolds are essentially irreducible. We also clarify the relationship between holomorphic and symplectic minimality of Kähler surfaces. This leads to a new proof of the deformation-invariance of holomorphic minimality for complex surfaces with even first Betti number which are not Hirzebruch surfaces.
متن کاملInvariants of real symplectic 4-manifolds and lower bounds in real enumerative geometry
We first present the construction of the moduli space of real pseudo-holomorphic curves in a given real symplectic manifold. Then, following the approach of Gromov and Witten [3, 15, 10], we construct invariants under deformation of real rational symplectic 4-manifolds. These invariants provide lower bounds for the number of real rational J-holomorphic curves in a given homology class passing t...
متن کاملSW ⇒ Gr: FROM THE SEIBERG-WITTEN EQUATIONS TO PSEUDO-HOLOMORPHIC CURVES
The purpose of this article is to explain how pseudo-holomorphic curves in a symplectic 4-manifold can be constructed from solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations. As such, the main theorem proved here (Theorem 1.3) is an existence theorem for pseudo-holomorphic curves. This article thus provides a proof of roughly half of the main theorem in the announcement [T1]. That theorem, Theorem 4.1, ...
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 ...
