Invariant probability measures from pseudoholomorphic curves II: Pseudoholomorphic curve constructions

Abstract

In the previous work, we introduced a method for constructing invariant probability measures of a large class of non-singular volume-preserving flows on closed, oriented odd-dimensional smooth manifolds with pseudoholomorphic curve techniques from symplectic geometry. The technique requires existence of certain pseudoholomorphic curves satisfying some weak assumptions. In this work, we appeal to Gromov-Witten theory and Seiberg-Witten theory to construct large classes of examples where these pseudoholomorphic curves exist. Our argument uses neck stretching along with new analytical tools from Fish-Hofer's work on feral pseudoholomorphic curves.
