Floer trajectories with immersed nodes and scale-dependent gluing

Abstract: We define an enhanced compactification of Floer trajectories under Morse background using the adiabatic degeneration and the scale-dependent gluing techniques. The compactification reflects the 1-jet datum of the smooth Floer trajectories nearby the limiting nodal Floer trajectories arising from adiabatic degeneration of the background Morse function. This paper studies the gluing problem when the limiting gradient trajectories has length zero through a renomalization process. The case with limiting gradient trajectories of non-zero length will be treated elsewhere. An immediate application of our result is a proof of the isomorphism property of the PSS map : A proof of this isomorphism property was first outlined by P"unihikin-Salamon-Schwarz cite{PSS} in a way somewhat different from the current proof in its details. This kind of scale-dependent gluing techniques was initiated in [FOOO07] in relation to the metamorphosis of holomorphic polygons under Lagrangian surgery and is expected to appear in other gluing and compactification problem of pseudo-holomorphic curves that involves `adiabatic' parameters or rescales the targets.

Review text

Development of pseudo-holomorphic curves and Floer cohomology in symplectic topology has led to moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves consisting of both ``smooth elements and ``spike elements, where the latter are combinations of \(J\)-holomorphic curves and gradient flow line segments.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors define an enhanced compactification of the moduli space of Floer trajectories under Morse background using the adiabatic degeneration and the scale-dependent gluing techniques. An immediate application of the result is a complete proof of the isomorphism property of the PSS map: a proof of this isomorphism was outlined by \textit{S. Piunikhin} et al. [Publ. Newton Inst. 8, 171--200 (1996; Zbl 0874.53031)], but in a way somewhat different from the approach of the paper under review.NEWLINENEWLINEDue to the length of the paper (153 pages), the authors include a brief summary of each part. In Part I, they develop a new geometric framework which addresses an enhancement of the description of standard nodal Floer trajectories, and prove one of the key results of the paper (Theorem 5.1) assuming that the nodes of nodal Floer trajectories are immersed.NEWLINENEWLINEIn Part II, the authors carry out a scale-dependent gluing analysis to glue two outer pseudo-holomorphic curves and the local model in different scale.NEWLINENEWLINEFinally, in Part III, the above results are combined with the standard deformation-cobordism argument to explain how the gluing theorem can be used to give a proof of the isomorphism property of the Pinniklin-Salamon-Schwarz (PSS) map.
