Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and Sigma a compact Riemann surface. We define a 2-form on the space of immersed symplectic surfaces in M, and show that the form is closed and non-degenerate, up to reparametrizations. Then we give…

In this paper, we prove that for a generic choice of tame (or compatible) almost complex structures $J$ on a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\omega)$ with $n \geq 3$ and with its first Chern class $c_1(M,\omega) = 0$, all somewhere injective…

Given a symplectic three-fold $(M,\omega)$ we show that for a generic almost complex structure $J$ which is compatible with $\omega$, there are finitely many $J$-holomorphic curves in $M$ of any genus $g\geq 0$ representing a homology class…

This note discusses the structure of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic 4-manifolds (M,\om) when J\in \Jj(\Ss), the set of \om-tame J for which a fixed chain \Ss of transversally intersecting embedded spheres of self-intersection \le -2 is…

Let M be a symplectic 4-manifold. A semitoric integrable system on M is a pair of real-valued smooth functions J, H on M for which J generates a Hamiltonian S^1-action and the Poisson brackets {J,H} vanish. We shall introduce new global…

Let M be a connected, symplectic 4-manifold. A semitoric integrable system on M essentially consists of a pair of independent, real-valued, smooth functions J and H on the manifold M, for which J generates a Hamiltonian circle action under…

Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold are a count of holomorphic curves. We describe a formula expressing the GW invariants of a symplectic sum $X# Y$ in terms of the relative GW invariants of $X$ and $Y$. This formula has…

We define higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a mathematical theory of sigma model coupled with gravity over any semi-positive symplectic manifolds. As applications, we verify the stablizing conjecture of symplectic…

In this paper, we prove that if the area functional of a surface $\Sigma^2$ in a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\bar{\omega})$ has a critical point or has a compatible stable point in the same cohomology class, then it must be…

In this note, genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants are reviewed and then applied in some examples of dimension four and six. It is also proved that the use of genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants in the class of embedded $J$-holomorphic…

Let (M,\omega) be a symplectic manifold, and (\Sigma,\sigma) a closed connected symplectic 2-manifold. We construct a weakly symplectic form {\omega^{D}}_{(\Sigma, \sigma)} on the space of immersions \Sigma \to M that is a special case of…

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, we construct invariants under deformation of real rational…

We study symplectic surfaces in ruled symplectic 4-manifolds which are disjoint from a given symplectic section. As a consequence we see that, in any symplectic 4-manifold, two homologous symplectic surfaces which are sufficiently C^0 close…

In this paper we study complex symplectic manifolds, i.e., compact complex manifolds $X$ which admit a holomorphic $(2, 0)$-form $\sigma$ which is $d$-closed and non-degenerate, and in particular the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki quadric…

Every almost Hermitian structure $(g,J)$ on a four-manifold $M$ determines a hypersurface $\Sigma_J$ in the (positive) twistor space of $(M,g)$ consisting of the complex structures anti-commuting with $J$. In this note we find the…

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in a 4-manifold X to be pseudoholomorphic with respect to some almost complex structure on X. This provides a systematic approach to the construction of pseudoholomorphic…

An \emph{$\omega$-admissible almost complex structure} on a $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is a $\omega$-calibrated almost complex structure $J$ admitting a nowhere vanishing $\bar{\partial}_J$-closed $(n,0)$-form $\psi$.…

We study symplectic structures on K\"ahler surfaces with p_g = 0. We give an example of a projective surface which admits a symplectic structure which is not compatible with any K\"ahler metric.

This paper addresses several isotopy problems on $4$-manifolds. First, we classify the isotopy classes of embeddings of $\Sigma$ in $\Sigma\times S^2$ that are geometrically dual to $\{\mbox{pt}\}\times S^2$, where $\Sigma$ is a closed…
