The pseudogroup of local solutions in Chapter 3 defines another pseudogroup by taking its centralizer inside the diffeomorphism group Diff(M) of a manifold M. These two pseudogroups define a Lie group structure on M.

In this paper, we consider the minimal genus problem in a ruled 4-manifold M. There are three key ingredients in the studying, the action of diffeomorphism group of M on H2(M,Z), the geometric construction of surfaces representing a cohomology class and the generalized adjunction formula. At first, we discuss the standard form (see Definition 1.1) of a class under the action of diffeomorphism group on H2(M,Z), we prove the uniqueness of the standard form. Then we construct some embedded surfaces representing the standard forms of some positive classes, the generalized adjunction formula is used to show that these surfaces realize the minimal genera.

In this paper, we prove that on any contact manifold ( M , ξ ) there exists an arbitrary C ∞ -small contactomorphism which does not admit a square root. In particular, there exists an arbitrary C ∞ -small contactomorphism which is not “autonomous”. This paper is the first step to study the topology of C o n t 0 ( M , ξ ) ∖ Aut ( M , ξ ) . As an application, we also prove a similar result for the diffeomorphism group Diff ( M ) for any smooth manifold M.
