Acknowledgements
We are indebted to Michael Hutchings for many helpful conversations and for our previous collaboration which was a catalyst for the present work. We also thank Denis Auroux, Thomas Brown, Tobias Ekholm, Dusa McDuff, Roberto Pignatelli, Ivan Smith and Jean-Yves Welschinger for illuminating exchanges. Part of this work was done while KH and PG visited MSRI during the academic year 2009–2010. We are extremely grateful to MSRI and the organizers of the “Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology” and the “Homology Theories of Knots and Links” programs for their hospitality; this work probably would never have seen the light of day without the large amount of free time which was made possible by the visit to MSRI. KH also thanks the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics for their hospitality during his visit in May 2011.
