A Runge approximation theorem for pseudo-holomorphic maps

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Runge approximation theorem for holomorphic maps (U -> C) is a fundamental result in complex analysis. The aim of this article is to prove such a result for (pseudo-)holomorphic maps from a compact Riemann surface to a compact (almost-)complex manifold M under certain assumptions. Though the setting is definitively that of pseudo-holomorphic maps it also covers some complex varieties.


A version of the Runge approximation theorem is proved. Let \((M,J)\) be an almost complex manifold such that \(J\) is regular in the sense of Fredholm theory and such that for almost every point \(m\in M\) and almost every second-order jet at \(m\) there exists a \(J\)-holomorphic sphere in \(M\) passing through \(m\) with this jet at \(m\). Under these conditions on \((M,J)\) the folowing result is proved. Theorem. Let \(\Sigma\) be a compact Riemann surface, \(U\) an open subset in \(\Sigma\) and \(K\subset U\) a compact. Then every \(J\)-holomorphic map \(f: U\to (M,J)\) can be approximated uniformaly on \(K\) by \(J\)-holomorphic maps from \(\Sigma\) to \((M,J)\).
