Books by Casim Abbas

As such it ideally serves as preparation and as entry point for a deeper study of the analysis underlying symplectic field theory.An introductory chapter sets the stage explaining some of the basic notions of contact geometry and the role of holomorphic curves in the field.

Based on the author's lectures, this book introduces symplectic field theory. Beginning with compactness results for holomorphic curves, the coverage includes extensions of certain compactness results believed to be true, but not yet published in detail.
