From Cascades to $J$-holomorphic Curves and Back
Abstract
This paper develops the analysis needed to set up a Morse-Bott version of embedded contact homology (ECH) of a contact three-manifold in certain cases. In particular we establish a correspondence between "cascades" of holomorphic curves in the symplectization of a Morse-Bott contact form, and holomorphic curves in the symplectization of a nondegenerate perturbation of the contact form. The cascades we consider must be transversely cut out and rigid. We accomplish this by studying the adiabatic degeneration of $J$-holomorphic curves into cascades and establishing a gluing theorem. We note our gluing theorem satisfying appropriate transversality hypotheses should work in higher dimensions as well. The details of ECH applications will appear elsewhere.
