Compatible complex structures on symplectic rational ruled surfaces

Abstract: ABSTRACT. In this paper we study the topology of the space Iω of complex structures compatible with a fixed symplectic form ω, using the framework of Donaldson. By comparing our analysis of the space Iω with results of McDuff on the space Jω of compatible almost complex structures on rational ruled surfaces, we find that Iω is contractible in this case.We then apply this result to study the topology of the symplectomorphism group of a rational ruled surface, extending results of Abreu and McDuff.

“…J i ;j is a homotopy equivalence, that the equivariant diffeomorphism type of a normal neighborhood of the j -th stratum is the same in both stratifications and that this neighborhood does not depend on the parameter as long as > .j i /=2. These facts, together with the results of Appendix C in [2], imply that the action of G i on the normal bundle N .J All of Abreu, Granja and Kitchloo arguments on M 0 apply as well for the group of symplectomorphisms of the blow-up M 0 ;c if one has in mind the following geometric facts and observations. When passing to the blow-up, the spaces of compatible (almost) complex structures J 0 ;c and z I 0 ;c are now partitioned according to the degeneracy type of exceptional curves in class B E (using the notation introduced in Section 1.3).…”
