No nonconstant J-holomorphic curve with this closed connected source exists. The standard symplectic form on is exact; for instanceThe Energy identity for a J-holomorphic curve and the Generalized Stokes theorem giveThe target metric from the compatible almost complex structure is positive definite, so the nonnegative continuous energy density must vanish everywhere. Thus . Connectedness of makes constant. This argument uses exactness and compatibility, and works even when is nonintegrable; it does not require the ordinary holomorphic maximum principle on the target.
