A Symplectic Dynamics Proof of the Degree–Genus Formula
Keyword(s):
AbstractWe classify global surfaces of section for the Reeb flow of the standard contact form on the 3-sphere (defining the Hopf fibration), with boundaries oriented positively by the flow. As an application, we prove the degree-genus formula for complex projective curves, using an elementary degeneration process inspired by the language of holomorphic buildings in symplectic field theory.
