Abstract

In this chapter we define the notions of a Kuranishi structure and of a good coordinate system. We also study embedding between them, which describes a relation among those structures.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We might require only a weaker condition that \(\det {\mathcal E}^{\ast } \otimes \det TU\) is orientable. One of the reasons we take the current choice is that then Condition 23.9 is automatically satisfied.

  2. 2.

    In Definition 3.1 the name, Kuranishi neighborhood, is also used for the underlying orbifold of the Kuranishi chart. Here we use it for a Kuranishi chart such that Im(ψ) contains a given subset of X. It should be easy to distinguish them from the context.

  3. 3.

    Note that Im(ψ p) is open in X.

  4. 4.

    Note it may happen that \(U_{\mathfrak p \mathfrak q} = \emptyset \).

  5. 5.

    Here \(\mathfrak p <\mathfrak q\) means \(\mathfrak p \le \mathfrak q\) and \(\mathfrak p \ne \mathfrak q\).

  6. 6.

    Note that under this condition \(\Phi ^{\prime }_{pq}\) exists by Item (1).

  7. 7.

    There is an error in [FOOO19] on this point. Fortunately such composition was not used in [FOOO19].

  8. 8.

    The proof of continuity is the same as Remark 3.41.

  9. 9.

    There are various other versions proposed by other authors. We do not mention them unless they are directly related to the discussion here.

  10. 10.

    Both by other authors and by us.

  11. 11.

    In [Ya1] Yang used a formulation which does not explicitly use the ambient space. It is closer to the formulation of this book. One important difference from ours is that conditions similar to (7), (8) are required not only for a good coordinate system but also for a Kuranishi structure in [Ya1].

  12. 12.

    Actually in our recent article [FOOO21] presenting the detail of the construction of the Kuranishi structure on the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic disks, we used an ambient set. While writing the article we found it is rather cumbersome and technically involved work to define a topology on this ambient set and prove its nice property. So we did not try to do so. See [FOOO21, Remark 7.9 (2)]. Proving Hausdorffness of the moduli space itself is much easier in comparison.
