This book presents the original proof of Gromov's compactness theorem for pseudo-holomorphic curves in detail. Local properties of pseudo-holomorphic curves are

The book serves as an introduction to holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds, focusing on the case of four-dimensional symplectizations and symplectic cobor

Herbert Amann's work is distinguished and marked by great lucidity and deep mathematical understanding. The present collection of 31 research papers, written by
