Abstract: This paper is the last in a series of three papers which investigate pseudoholomorphic strips in the symplectisation of a three dimensional closed contact manifold with a mixed boundary condition. We will prove a compactness and an intersection result, and we will investigate the embedding properties of such pseudoholomorphic curves.

Review text

This is the last in the series of papers discussing behavior of pseudoholomorphic strips in the symplectisation of a contact 3-dimensional manifold. Namely, the author studies the boundary value problem on pseudoholomorphic curves of finite energy with appropriately prescribed ends, which belong to some totally real submanifolds. The above problem arises in counting periodic orbits of the Reeb vector field and characteristic chords (i.e., segments of trajectories of the Reeb vector field connecting different points on a pre-fixed Legendrian submanifold), which is basic for relative contact homology (from the symplectic field theory due to Eliashberg, Givental and Hofer). This paper handles local existence and embedding properties of pseudoholomorphic strips with mixed boundary conditions. Further, the author proves the compactness property and intersection result.
