How not to use J-holomorphic curves [closed]
The field of symplectic topology is filled with subtle traps for the unwary, particularly when it comes to the analysis of $J$-holomorphic curves. So that the next generation of symplectic topologists ...

How to understand geometrically, the count of pseudoholomorphic discs by (multi)section perturbation of the kuranish structure on the moduli space?
When defining the $A_\infty$ algebra of a Lagrangian (as done in the book by FOOO) it is done by "counting" (integrating over the moduli space or over the fiber of evaluation map) pseudoholomorphic ...

Every symplectic submanifold is J-holomorphic
I am trying to show that every symplectic submanifold $N$ of a 2n- dimensional symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is J-holomorphic for some compatible almost complex structure $J$.
The way I am ...

Pairs of J-holomorphic curves
Let $(M, \omega)$ be a symplectic 4-manifold and let $A$ and $B$ be symplectic submanifolds on M such that $A \cap B = p \in M$.Under what conditions can I find a $\omega$-compatible almost complex ...

Diffeomorphism of $ \mathbb{C}P^2 \# ~\overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$
I am currently reading Dusa McDuff's paper "Blow ups and symplectic embedding in dimension 4" and had a few questions regarding the paper.
In the paper McDuff uses the following notation. $X = \...

Compactly supported symplectomorphisms of $D^2$
I'm trying to understand a more basic version about Gromov's theorem about the compactly supported symplectomorphisms of $D^2 \times D^2$ being contractible.
Consider the dimensional disk $D^2 \...

Continuation map interpolating two quadratic Hamiltonians with respect to different contact boundaries
Let $(M,\lambda)$ be a Liouville manifold. Consider two different contact boundaries $\partial_{\infty}^1M$ and $\partial_{\infty}^2M$ with respect to the same Liouville flow $Z$. Each of them ...

Can one choose a sufficiently generic path of a.c.s such that only "codimension 1" bubbling occurs?
Consider a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ of dimension $2n$ (closed or open with bounded geometry). Let $L\subset M$ be a compact Lagrangian submanifold (not necessarily connected).
Consider two ...

Is a simple J-holomorphic curve injective everywhere except for finitely many points?
Let $(M^{2n},J)$ be an almost complex manifold and $(\Sigma,j)$ a closed Riemann surface. Suppose $u: \Sigma \to M$ is a simple, nonconstant, $J$-holomorphic curve. Can we prove that the set

Why should we restrict the multiplicitiy of hyperbolic orbit to be one in Embedded contact homology?
Embedded contact homology(abbreviated by ECH) is a Floer type theory specially designed for three dimensional contanct manifolds(or generally, manifold with stable Hamiltonian structure) invented by ...

Is diffeomorphism of symplectic manifolds which preserves Lagrangian submanifolds and $J$-holomorphic curves necessarily symplectomorphism?
Consider a diffeomorphism of two symplectic manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ with compatible J structures, which sends Lagrangian submanifolds of $M_1$ to Lagrangian submanifolds of $M_2$. Assume moreover ...

Shape of the bubbling limit of holomorphic discs
I will present my question in the specifics I encountered it, so maybe some of the details are irrelevant for the desired conclusion.
Consider $(S^2\times S^2,\omega_{std})$ the product of two ...
