Metric area between energy and symplectic area #

For a compatible pair (ω, J) with associated metric g = ω(·, J ·), the metric area density of a real-linear map F out of the standard complex line is the wedge norm |F ∂s ∧ F ∂t|_g (TauCeti.SymplecticForm.wedgeNorm). It sits between the two densities of TauCeti.Geometry.Symplectic.JHolomorphic.Energy.Basic:

ω(F ∂s, F ∂t) ≤ |F ∂s ∧ F ∂t|_g ≤ (g(F ∂s, F ∂s) + g(F ∂t, F ∂t)) / 2.

The first inequality is the Wirtinger inequality. It is an equality 0 = 0 when F ∂s and F ∂t are linearly dependent (F has rank at most one); when F has rank two it is an equality exactly when the image plane is a J-complex line with its complex orientation. The second is an equality exactly when F is conformal for g. Both are equalities exactly when F is complex linear.

Integrating over a measure on the source gives the chain E(u) ≥ Area_g(u) ≥ ∫ u^*ω for the energy TauCeti.SymplecticForm.stdComplexLineEnergy and the metric area TauCeti.SymplecticForm.stdComplexLineArea of a field of differentials, with equality throughout for an almost everywhere complex-linear differential, in particular for a constant-structure J-holomorphic map. As there, the differential is kept explicit and all integrals are lower Lebesgue integrals of positive parts.

Area is at most energy, pointwise. For a compatible pair, twice the metric area density |F ∂s ∧ F ∂t|_g of a real-linear map out of the standard complex line is at most its energy density.

Twice the metric area density equals the energy density exactly when the map is conformal for the associated metric: F ∂s and F ∂t have the same length and are orthogonal.

The metric area of a field of real-linear maps out of the standard complex line: the lower Lebesgue integral of the wedge norm |du ∂s ∧ du ∂t|_g for the associated form g = ω(·, J ·). The source measure μ is arbitrary. For a compatible pair, Lebesgue measure on a planar domain X, and the differential du of a C¹ immersion u, the area formula identifies this with the area of the image surface counted with multiplicity, measured in g.

    Metric area depends only on the differential field almost everywhere.

    Enlarging the source measure cannot decrease metric area.

    Integrated Wirtinger inequality, area form. For a compatible pair, the integral of the positive symplectic area density is at most the metric area.

    Area is at most energy. For a compatible pair, the metric area of a differential field is at most its energy.

    For a compatible pair, a differential field that is complex linear almost everywhere has metric area equal to its energy, and hence, by TauCeti.SymplecticForm.stdComplexLineEnergy_eq_lintegral_symplecticForm, to the integral of its symplectic area density.

    For a compatible pair, a map that is constant-structure J-holomorphic almost everywhere has metric area equal to its energy.
