From symplectic deformation to isotopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Let X be an oriented 4-manifold which does not have simple SW-type, for example a blow-up of a rational or ruled surface. We show that any two cohomologous and deformation equivalent symplectic forms on X are isotopic. This implies that blow-ups of these manifolds are unique, thus extending work of Biran. We also establish uniqueness of structure for certain fibered 4-manifolds.

Luttinger Surgery along Lagrangian Tori and Non-isotopy for Singular Symplectic Plane Curves
We discuss the properties of a certain type of Dehn surgery along a Lagrangian torus in a symplectic 4-manifold, known as Luttinger’s surgery, and use this construction to provide a purely topological interpretation of a non-isotopy result for symplectic plane curves with cusp and node singularities due to Moishezon [9].
متن کاملLagrangian submanifolds and Lefschetz pencils SG/0407126 16
Given a Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic manifold and a Morse function on the submanifold, we show that there is an isotopic Morse function and a symplectic Lefschetz pencil on the manifold extending the Morse function to the whole manifold. From this construction we define a sequence of symplectic invariants classifying the isotopy classes of Lagrangian spheres in a symplectic 4-manifold.
متن کاملErratum to “π1 of Symplectic Automorphism Groups and Invertibles in Quantum Homology Rings”
We note an error in [2]. This Erratum will not be published. The paper defines Ham(M,ω) to be the group of Hamiltonian automorphisms, equipped with the C∞-topology, and G as “the group of smooth based loops in Ham(M,ω)”. This is a misleading formulation, since what the paper really means is that elements of G are Hamiltonian loops. If one understands it in that way, then the proof of [2, Lemma ...
متن کاملLagrangian Two-spheres Can Be Symplectically Knotted
In the past few years there have been several striking results about the topology of Lagrangian surfaces in symplectic four-manifolds. The general tendency of these results is that many isotopy classes of embedded surfaces do not contain Lagrangian representatives. This is called the topological unknottedness of Lagrangian surfaces; see [4] for a survey. The aim of this paper is to complement t...
متن کاملSymplectic folding and non-isotopic polydisks
Our main result demonstrates the existence of different Hamiltonian isotopy classes of symplectically embedded polydisks inside a 4-ball, and by the same argument also in the complex projective plane. Furthermore, we find exactly how large the ball can be before the embeddings become isotopic; the optimal isotopy is a version of symplectic folding. Before stating the result precisely we fix som...
