A compendium of pseudoholomorphic beasts in R x (S¹ x S²)

Taubes, Clifford Henry

Original · EN

This article describes various moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves on the symplectization of a particular overtwisted contact structure on S¹ x S². This contact structure appears when one considers a closed self dual form on a 4-manifold as a symplectic form on the complement of its zero locus. The article is focussed mainly on disks, cylinders and three-holed spheres, but it also supplies groundwork for a description of moduli spaces of curves with more punctures and non-zero genus.
