Abstract
In this section we recall some general facts about symplectic manifolds. Then we give a short discussion of Moser’s method, which is applied in the proof of numerous fundamental statements discussed in the text. The chapter concludes with a short review on what is known about the classification of symplectic 4-manifolds. For a more detailed treatment of symplectic geometry and topology the reader is advised to turn to [111]; here we restrict our attention mostly to the 4-dimensional case.
