Abstract
This paper investigates the geometry of a symplectic –manifold relative to a –holomorphic normal crossing divisor . Extending work by Biran, we give conditions under which a homology class with nontrivial Gromov invariant has an embedded –holomorphic representative for some –compatible . This holds for example if the class can be represented by an embedded sphere, or if the components of are spheres with self-intersection . We also show that inflation relative to is always possible, a result that allows one to calculate the relative symplectic cone. It also has important applications to various embedding problems, for example of ellipsoids or Lagrangian submanifolds.
