Abstract

We prove that a compact Riemann surface can be realized as a pseudo-holomorphic curve of (R4,J)(\mathbb{R}^4,J), for some almost complex structure JJ if and only if it is an elliptic curve. Furthermore we show that any (almost) complex 2n2n-torus can be holomorphically embedded in (R4n,J)(\mathbb{R}^{4n},J) for a suitable almost complex structure JJ. This allows us to embed any compact Riemann surface in some almost complex Euclidean space and to show many explicit examples of almost complex structure in R2n\mathbb{R}^{2n} which can not be tamed by any symplectic form.
