Existence of close pseudoholomorphic disks for almost complex manifolds and their application to the Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm. (English. Russian original) Zbl 0967.32024

Let we have a pseudoholomorphic disk of radius $$R$$ and an almost complex manifold. It pass through a fixed point and tangent to a given vector $$v$$ at this point. For any $$\varepsilon$$ there is a neighborhood $$U$$ of the vector $$v$$ such that we can find a pseudoholomorphic disk of radius $$R - \varepsilon$$ going through the same point and tangent to a vector from $$U$$.
This result has several interesting applications, particularly, the author’s coincidence of the pseudo-distance defined by the Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm with the Kobayashi pseudodistance.
