Abstract

Let (M,ω)(M,\omega) be a symplectic 4-manifold of negative Kodaira dimension. Let CC be an ω\omega-symplectic curve, JJ-holomorphic for some JJ tamed by ω\omega. Then [C]2[C]^2 is bounded below by a constant depending only on ω\omega. Related bounded negativity problems for other structures are also briefly discussed. In particular, the symplectic result implies the bounded negativity conjecture for complex projective surfaces with Kodaira dimension κ=\kappa=-\infty.
