Smooth Kuranishi atlases with isotropy

摘要

Kuranishi structures were introduced in the 1990s by Fukaya and Ono for the purpose of assigning a virtual cycle to moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that cannot be regularized by geometric methods. Their core idea was to build such a cycle by patching local finite-dimensional reductions, given by smooth sections that are equivariant under a finite isotropy group.
