A vanishing theorem in Siefring's intersection theory
Abstract
In 2009, R. Siefring introduced a homotopy-invariant generalized intersection number and singularity index for punctured pseudoholomorphic curves, by adding contributions from curve's asymptotic behavior to the standard intersection number and singularity index. In this article, we provide a stratification of the moduli space that describes the rate of asymptotic convergence of the pseudoholomorphic curves. Using this stratification, we provide a more intricate characterization of the curves for which these added contribution to the intersection number and singularity index vanishes. In doing so, we prove that the asymptotic contribution to intersection number and singularity index vanishes under generic perturbations. This means that in generic situations we only need to consider the usual intersections of the curves.
