The pseudoholomorphic curves we encounter are either orbit cylinders or em- bedded with genus zero, one boundary component, and Fredholm index 2. Such curves are automatically regular.

Let M be a closed three-dimensional manifold with contact form λ so that Ker λ is tight. In this paper, we will present a first application of the filling method by pseudoholomorphic curves recently ...

Journal is devoted to topology and analysis, broadly defined to include differential geometry, geometric topology and analysis, geometric group theory, probability on discrete structures ...
