Abstract: In a well known work [Se], Graeme Segal proved that the space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface to a complex projective space is homology equivalent to the corresponding continuous mapping space through a range of dimensions increasing with degree. In this paper, we address if a similar result holds when other (not necessarily integrable) almost complex structures are put on projective space. We take almost complex structures that are compatible with the underlying symplectic structure. We obtain the following result: the inclusion of the space of based degree k J-holomorphic maps from P^1 to P^2 into the double loop space of P^2 is a homology surjection for dimensions j<3k-2. The proof involves constructing a gluing map analytically in a way similar to McDuff and Salamon in [MS] and Sikorav in [S] and then comparing it to a combinatorial gluing map studied by Cohen, Cohen, Mann, and Milgram in [CCMM].

Review text

In 1979, Graeme Segal proved that the space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface to a complex projective space is homology equivalent to the corresponding space of continuous maps through a range of dimensions increasing with degree. In this paper, the author proves that the inclusion of the space of based degree-\(k\) \(J\)-holomorphic maps from \(\mathbb P^1\) to \(\mathbb P^2\) is a homology surjection for dimensions \(j\leq 3k-3\). The author uses the same technique as \textit{D. McDuff} and \textit{D. Salamon} [\(J\)-holomorphic curves and quantum cohomology. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (1994; Zbl 0809.53002)] and \textit{J.-C. Sikorav} [Fields Inst. Commun. 35, 175--199 (2003; Zbl 1109.32301)] to construct a gluing map analytically. He also compares this gluing map to a combinatorial gluing map studied by \textit{F. R. Cohen} et al. [Acta Math. 166, No. 3--4, 163--221 (1991; Zbl 0741.55005)].
