Product Description: The theory of $J$-holomorphic curves has been of great importance since its introduction by Gromov in 1985. Its mathematical applications include many key results in symplectic topology. It was also one of the main inspirations for the creation of Floer homology...read more

Product Description: Symplectic structures underlie the equations of classical mechanics and their properties are reflected in the behavior of a wide range of physical systems. Over the last few years powerful new methods in analysis and topology have led to the development of the modern global theory of symplectic topology, including several striking and important results...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
