Dual Curves and Pseudoholomorphic Curves
نویسنده
چکیده
A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4–manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with, and yields many analogues of results in complex surface theory, using a description of the local geometry via Cartan’s method of equivalence. Duality then uncovers a new infinite-dimensional family of geometric integrable systems. These are the first steps toward geometry on moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves.

Pseudoholomorphic curves in four-orbifolds and some applications
The main purpose of this paper is to summarize the basic ingredients, illustrated with examples, of a pseudoholomorphic curve theory for symplectic 4-orbifolds. These are extensions of relevant work of Gromov, McDuff and Taubes on symplectic 4-manifolds concerning pseudoholomorphic curves and Seiberg-Witten theory (cf. [19, 34, 35, 44, 46]). They form the technical backbone of [9, 10] where it ...
متن کاملA compendium of pseudoholomorphic beasts in R ( S 1 S 2 )
This article describes various moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves on the symplectization of a particular overtwisted contact structure on S1 S2 . This contact structure appears when one considers a closed self dual form on a 4{ manifold as a symplectic form on the complement of its zero locus. The article is focussed mainly on disks, cylinders and three-holed spheres, but it also supplie...
متن کاملSymmetric Plane Curves of Degree 7 : Pseudoholomorphic and Algebraic Classifications
This paper is motivated by the real symplectic isotopy problem : does there exist a nonsingular real pseudoholomorphic curve not isotopic in the projective plane to any real algebraic curve of the same degree? Here, we focus our study on symmetric real curves on the projective plane. We give a classification of real schemes (resp. complex schemes) realizable by symmetric real curves of degree 7...
متن کاملTwistor Theory of Pseudoholomorphic Curves
A twistor theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in 4–manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with, and yields many analogues of results in complex surface theory, using a description of the local geometry via Cartan’s method of equivalence. Twistor theory then un...
متن کاملGluing Pseudoholomorphic Curves along Branched Covered Cylinders I 1 Statement of the Gluing Theorem 1.1 Pseudoholomorphic Curves in Symplectizations
This paper and its sequel prove a generalization of the usual gluing theorem for two index 1 pseudoholomorphic curves u+ and u− in the symplectization of a contact 3-manifold. We assume that for each embedded Reeb orbit γ, the total multiplicity of the negative ends of u+ at covers of γ agrees with the total multiplicity of the positive ends of u− at covers of γ. However, unlike in the usual gl...
