Non-Isotopic Symplectic Surfaces in Products of Riemann Surfaces
Abstract

Let Σ<em><sub>g</sub></em> be a closed Riemann surface of genus <em>g</em>. Generalizing Ivan Smith's construction, for each <em>g</em> ≥ 1 and <em>h</em> ≥ 0 we construct an infinite set of infinite families of homotopic but pairwise non-isotopic symplectic surfaces inside the product symplectic manifold Σ<em><sub>g</sub></em> ×Σ<em><sub>h</sub></em>. In particular, we achieve all positive genera from these families, providing first examples of infinite families of homotopic but pairwise non-isotopic symplectic surfaces of even genera inside Σ<em><sub>g</sub></em> ×Σ<em><sub>h</sub></em>.
