Abstract
The chapter is devoted to the study of the intersection theory of holomorphic curves in (real) four-dimensional almost complex manifolds. Some of the ideas originate from McDuff’s work in [84], see also [85], which in turn was influenced by Gromov’s seminal paper [60]. Other important work in this direction is [89] and [104].
