Abstract

Taubes established fundamental properties of JJ-holomorphic subvarieties in dimension 4 in \cite{T1}. In this paper, we further investigate properties of reducible JJ-holomorphic subvarieties. We offer an upper bound of the total genus of a subvariety when the class of the subvariety is JJ-nef. For a spherical class, it has particularly strong consequences. It is shown that, for any tamed JJ, each irreducible component is a smooth rational curve. We also completely classify configurations of maximal dimension. To prove these results we treat subvarieties as weighted graphs and introduce several combinatorial moves.
