Normalize the Fubini-Study form so that a complex projective line has symplectic area . The displayed map takes the unit symplectic ball in diffeomorphically onto the complement of the last-coordinate hyperplane. Its lift to the unit sphere has last coordinate positive real, so that coordinate contributes zero to the pulled-back standard symplectic form. The map is therefore a symplectomorphism.
Two disjoint symplectic balls of radii embedding into the unit four-ball must satisfy the displayed inequality. Extend their transported standard complex structures on smaller concentric balls to a compatible almost complex structure on the projective plane. A degree-one J-holomorphic curve through both centres has area . The Monotonicity theorem for a J-holomorphic curve bounds its area in each smaller ball below by . Disjointness allows these bounds to be added; letting increase to proves the result.
