Let be a strictly star-shaped level, any family of linear maps, and any map. Let be a periodic Reeb orbit on , , , and . Suppose the loops converge in to . Then the puncture of on the punctured unit disk is not removable: does not agree on with a smooth -holomorphic map .
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 convergence of loops is TendstoCInfty (uniform convergence on of every derivative); removability is IsRemovablePuncture H J u 0 1. No finite-energy or holomorphicity hypothesis on 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. -/
