Let S=H−1(1)⊂R2n+2S=H^{-1}(1)\subset\mathbb{R}^{2n+2}S=H−1(1)⊂R2n+2 be a strictly star-shaped level, JJJ any family of linear maps, and u:C→R2n+2u:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+2}u:C→R2n+2 any map. Let P=(x,T)P=(x,T)P=(x,T) be a periodic Reeb orbit on SSS, σ=±1\sigma=\pm1σ=±1, c∈Rc\in\mathbb{R}c∈R, and ρk→0+\rho_k\to0^+ρk​→0+. Suppose the loops t↦proj u(ρke−2πit)t\mapsto\mathrm{proj}\,u(\rho_ke^{-2\pi it})t↦proju(ρk​e−2πit) converge in C∞(R,R2n+2)C^\infty(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}^{2n+2})C∞(R,R2n+2) to t↦x(σTt+c)t\mapsto x(\sigma Tt+c)t↦x(σTt+c). Then the puncture 000 of uuu on the punctured unit disk D∖{0}D\setminus\{0\}D∖{0} is not removable: uuu does not agree on D∖{0}D\setminus\{0\}D∖{0} with a smooth J~\tilde JJ~-holomorphic map D→R2n+2∖{0}D\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+2}\setminus\{0\}D→R2n+2∖{0}.

This supplies the non-removability hypothesis needed to study the asymptotic behaviour of a finite-energy curve at a puncture whose boundary loops are already known to approach a periodic orbit along a sequence.

Formalization Note C∞C^\inftyC∞ convergence of loops is TendstoCInfty (uniform convergence on R\mathbb{R}R of every derivative); removability is IsRemovablePuncture H J u 0 1. No finite-energy or holomorphicity hypothesis on uuu is assumed.

/-- Let `u : ℂ → V n` and suppose that along some radii `ρ_k → 0⁺` the clockwise loops
`t ↦ proj(u(ρ_k e^{-2π i t}))` converge in `C^∞` to `t ↦ x(σ T t + c)` for a periodic Reeb orbit
`P = (x, T)` and `σ = ±1`. Then the puncture `0` of `u` on the punctured unit disc is not
removable. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
