Pseudo-holomorphic curves and the Weinstein conjecture

dg-ga 2008-02-03 v3 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We established existence of periodic Reeb orbits for a large class of tight contact structures on closed 3-manifolds, notably the Stein fillable structures, based on a fundamental theorem of Cliff Taubes on symplectic 4-manifolds.
