Real holomorphic curves and invariant global surfaces of section

Abstract

In this paper we prove that a dynamically convex starshaped hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ which is invariant under complex conjugation admits a global surface of section which is invariant under conjugation as well. We obtain this invariant global surface by embedding $\mathbb{C}^2$ into $\mathbb{CP}^2$ and applying a stretching argument to real holomorphic curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. The motivation for this result arises from recent progress in applying holomorphic curve techniques to gain a deeper understanding on the dynamics of the restricted three body problem.
