Symplectic Thom conjecture

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a symplectic 44-manifold, and let Σ(X,ω)\Sigma\subset (X,\omega) be a smoothly embedded symplectic surface. Genus is measured among smoothly embedded surfaces representing the same homology class as Σ\Sigma. Symplectic Thom conjecture. The surface Σ\Sigma minimizes genus amongst all smoothly embedded surfaces in its homology class. The statement is presented as a general Thom conjecture arising from adjunction inequalities in symplectic four-manifolds; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
