On finiteness and rigidity of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic three-folds


Abstract in English

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 $ggeq 0$ representing a homology class $beta$ in $H_2(M,Z)$ with $c_1(M).beta=0$, provided that the divisibility of $beta$ is at most 4 (i.e. if $beta=nalpha$ with $alphain H_2(M,Z)$ and $nin Z$ then $nleq 4$). Moreover, each such curve is embedded and 4-rigid.
