Pointwise energy density for maps from the standard complex line #

This file records pointwise energy-density bookkeeping. For a compatible pair (ω, J), the associated metric is g(v, w) = ω(v, J w). If a real-linear map F : ℝ × ℝ → V is complex-linear, then the standard energy density g(F ∂s, F ∂s) + g(F ∂t, F ∂t) is twice the symplectic area density ω(F ∂s, F ∂t).

Under a taming symplectic form the density is moreover nondegenerate: it is nonnegative for every real-linear map, vanishes exactly for the zero map, and is positive otherwise. The Frechet-derivative versions specialize this to pointwise and within-set constant-structure J-holomorphic maps.

For an arbitrary real-linear map the density obeys the Wirtinger inequality 2 ω(F ∂s, F ∂t) ≤ g(F ∂s, F ∂s) + g(F ∂t, F ∂t), the pointwise form of E(u) ≥ ∫ u^*ω: the difference is the Cauchy--Riemann defect square g(F ∂s + J (F ∂t), F ∂s + J (F ∂t)), which vanishes exactly when F is complex linear, so the inequality is an equality precisely for constant-structure J-holomorphic maps. This is the linear-algebra content behind "constant-structure J-holomorphic curves minimize energy in their homology class".

The statements here are pointwise linear algebra and Frechet-derivative calculus. They are integrated over a measure space in TauCeti.Geometry.Symplectic.JHolomorphic.Energy.Integral.

Main declarations #

The convention follows McDuff--Salamon, J-holomorphic Curves and Symplectic Topology, Section 2.1: for a compatible pair, g(·, ·) = ω(·, J ·) and du(∂t) = J du(∂s).

The pointwise metric energy density of a real-linear map from the standard complex line.

For a compatible pair (ω, J), this is g(F ∂s, F ∂s) + g(F ∂t, F ∂t), where g(v,w) = ω(v, J w).
