The mean-value inequality for J-holomorphic curves #

Let V be a real inner product space and J : V → (V →L[ℝ] V) a C² family of linear maps with J(x)² = -1, an almost complex structure on V written as a matrix-valued function, as in local coordinates on an almost complex manifold. A map u : ℂ → V, with s + i t the coordinate on ℂ, is J-holomorphic when it solves the Cauchy--Riemann equation ∂ₛu + J(u) ∂ₜu = 0, that is ∂ₜu = J(u) ∂ₛu. Here ∂ₛu = du(1) and ∂ₜu = du(i) are written fderiv ℝ u y 1 and fderiv ℝ u y I. Since J(u)² = -1, this single equation says that du intertwines multiplication by i with J(u); a curve that is TauCeti.IsJHolomorphicAt for the standard complex structure of ℂ satisfies it (TauCeti.IsJHolomorphicAt.fderiv_I_eq).

The energy density ‖∂ₛu‖² of such a curve satisfies the differential inequality

Δ ‖∂ₛu‖² ≥ -A ‖∂ₛu‖⁴,

with A = 4ac + 2b² + 8a²b² whenever a, b, c bound J, its first derivative and its second derivative along u. Differentiating the Cauchy--Riemann equation twice and using J(u)² = -1 removes the third derivatives of u from Δ ∂ₛu. What remains is bounded by ‖∂ₛu‖³ and by ‖∂ₛu‖ times the second derivatives of u, and the positive term 2 ‖∇ ∂ₛu‖² in Δ ‖∂ₛu‖² absorbs the latter. For constant J the constant A vanishes and ‖∂ₛu‖² is subharmonic.

Fed into the two-dimensional mean-value inequality TauCeti.mul_le_eight_mul_setIntegral_ball_of_neg_mul_sq_le_laplacian, this gives the pointwise derivative bound for curves of small energy, the basic estimate behind bubbling and Gromov compactness: if 8 A ∫_{B_r(z₀)} ‖∂ₛu‖² < π, then

π r² ‖∂ₛu(z₀)‖² ≤ 8 ∫_{B_r(z₀)} ‖∂ₛu‖².

For J that is C² on an open set containing a compact set K, one smallness threshold δ > 0 works for all curves with image in K. As ∂ₜu = J(u) ∂ₛu, these bounds control the full derivative of u.

The energy density of a J-holomorphic curve is almost subharmonic. Let u : ℂ → V be C³ at z and solve the Cauchy--Riemann equation ∂ₜu = J(u) ∂ₛu near z, where J is C² at u z with J(u z)² = -1. If a, b and c bound the norms of J, of its derivative and of its second derivative at u z, then

Δ ‖∂ₛu‖² ≥ -(4ac + 2b² + 8a²b²) ‖∂ₛu‖⁴ at z.

The mean-value inequality for J-holomorphic curves. Let u : ℂ → V be C³ on the open disk ball z₀ r, with ∂ₛu continuous on its closure, and solve the Cauchy--Riemann equation ∂ₜu = J(u) ∂ₛu on the disk. Suppose that on the disk J is C² along u, squares to -1, and a, b, c bound the norms of J, of its derivative and of its second derivative along u. If the energy ∫ ‖∂ₛu‖² over the disk is small, 8 (4ac + 2b² + 8a²b²) ∫ ‖∂ₛu‖² < π, then ‖∂ₛu(z₀)‖² is at most eight times its average over the disk:

π r² ‖∂ₛu(z₀)‖² ≤ 8 ∫_{B_r(z₀)} ‖∂ₛu‖².

The mean-value inequality for J-holomorphic curves in a compact set. Let J be C² on an open set W containing a compact set K, with J(x)² = -1 on K. There is an energy threshold δ > 0 such that every solution u of ∂ₜu = J(u) ∂ₛu that is C³ on the open disk ball z₀ r, has ∂ₛu continuous on its closure, maps the disk into K and has energy ∫ ‖∂ₛu‖² < δ over it, satisfies π r² ‖∂ₛu(z₀)‖² ≤ 8 ∫_{B_r(z₀)} ‖∂ₛu‖².
