Abstract: This note discusses the structure of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic 4-manifolds (M,om) when Jin Jj(Ss), the set of om-tame J for which a fixed chain Ss of transversally intersecting embedded spheres of self-intersection le -2 is J-holomorphic. Extending work by Biran (in Invent. Math. (1999)), it shows that when (M,om) is the blow up of a rational or ruled symplectic 4-manifold, any homology class Ain H_2(M;�), with nonzero Gromov invariant and nonnegative intersection both with the spheres in Ss and with the exceptional classes other than A, has an embedded J-holomorphic representative for some Jin Jj(Ss$. This result is a key step in some of the arguments in McDuff (Journ. Topology (2009)) on embedding ellipsoids, and also has applications to symplectic 4-orbifolds.
