Abstract

We present an elementary computational scheme for the moduli spaces of rational pseudo-holomorphic curves in the symplectizations of 3-dimensional lens spaces, which are equipped with Morse-Bott contact forms induced by the standard Morse-Bott contact form on S3. As an application, we prove that, for p prime and 1 < q, q ' <p - 1, if there is a contactomorphism between lens spaces L(p, q) and L(p, q '), where both spaces are equipped with their standard contact structures, then q = (q ')+/- 1 in mod p. For the proof, we study the moduli spaces of a pair of pants with two non-contractible ends in detail and establish that the standard almost complex structure that is used is regular. Then the existence of a contactomorphism enables us to follow a neck-stretching process, by means of which we compare the homotopy relations encoded at the non-contractible ends of the pair of pants in the symplectizations of L(p, q) and L(p, q '). Combining our proof with the result of Honda on the classification of universally tight contact structures on lens spaces, we provide a purely symplectic/contact topological proof of the diffeomorphism classification of lens spaces in the class mentioned above.
