Explicit correspondences between gradient trees in $\mathbb{R}$ and holomorphic disks in $T^{*}\mathbb{R}$

Abstract

Fukaya and Oh studied the correspondence between pseudoholomorphic disks in $T^{*}M$ which are bounded by Lagrangian sections $\{L_{i}^ε\}$ and gradient trees in $M$ which consist of gradient curves of $\{f_{i}-f_{j}\}$. Here, $L_{i}^ε$ is defined by $L_{i}^ε=$\,graph$(εdf_{i})$. They constructed approximate pseudoholomorphic disks in the case $ε>0$ is sufficiently small. When $M=\mathbb{R}$ and Lagrangian sections are affine, pseudoholomorphic disks $w_ε$ can be constructed explicitly. In this paper, we show that pseudoholomorphic disks $w_ε$ converges to the gradient tree in the limit $ε\to+0$ when the number of Lagrangian sections is three and four.

Surjectivity of real-linear Cauchy--Riemann operators: from the minimal Harder--Narasimhan slope to automatic transversality

This paper relates the minimal Harder--Narasimhan slope to the surjectivity of real-linear Cauchy--Riemann operators. We establish a conformally invariant $L^2$ criterion and an asymptotic slope criterion, which yield higher-rank automatic transversality criteria for pseudoholomorphic curves beyond the classical rank-one framework. Applications to pseudoholomorphic spheres in $S^6$ provide quantitative $L^2$ obstructions to the integrability of almost complex structures.

Welschinger invariants and the Conway polynomial

Welschinger showed that counts of connected holomorphic disks with Lagrangian boundary in symplectic 6-manifolds, meeting at least one boundary constraint, can be made invariant by correcting them with counts of disconnected disks weighted by certain "self-linking" numbers. We show his invariant is the lowest order term in an all-genus curve count where curves are weighted by the Conway polynomials of their boundaries. This in turn is a specialization of the skein-valued curve count, but can be defined without the 4-chain and vector field used in that setup.

KAM splittings and equidistributed periodic orbits for stable hypersurfaces

We show that any stable hypersurface of a symplectic $4$-manifold, on which the cohomology class of the symplectic form restricts to a multiple of a rational class, can be $C^\infty$-approximated by (possibly unstable) hypersurfaces whose closed characteristics equidistribute. The cohomological condition is necessary due to a famous example of Herman. The proof combines KAM theory with recent quantitative closing lemmas for Reeb flows and area-preserving maps. As a further application, we prove that every geodesible volume-preserving vector field on a closed three-manifold can be $C^\infty$-approximated by volume-preserving vector fields with equidistributed periodic orbits.
