Regularity and estimates for $J$-holomorphic discs attached to a maximal totally real submanifold

Abstract

We prove that pseudo-holomorphic discs attached to a maximal totally real submanifold inherit their regularity from the regularity of the submanifold and of the almost complex structure. The proof is based on the computation of an explicit lower bound for the Kobayashi metric in almost complex manifolds, which also yields explicit estimates of H\"olderian norms of such discs.
