and denote by Pj the the orthogonal projection of�4n onto N ∗ Wj = Wj ⊕ iW ⊥ j . If Tα is the<br />

translation operator mapping some w : Σ →�4n into<br />

(Tαw)(s, t) := � P1w(s, t), P2w(s, t), P3w(s − 2α, t), P4w(s, t) � ,<br />

we easily see that w satisfies the boundary condions (175) if and only if Tαw satisfies the boundary<br />

conditions (174). Therefore, if we define the operator<br />

Dα : X 1,p<br />

S ,V ,V ′(Σ,�4n ) → X p<br />

S (Σ,�4n ), Dα = D ◦ Tα,<br />

we have that w ∈ X 1,p<br />

S ,V ,V ′(Σ,�4n ) solves Dα(w) = 0 if and only if Tαw is a solution of (172)<br />

satisfying the boundary conditions (173) and (174). The operator<br />

[0, +∞[×X 1,p<br />

S,V ,V ′(Σ,�4n ) → X p<br />

S (Σ,�4n ), (α, w) ↦→ Dα(w),<br />

is continuous on the product, it is continuously differentiable with respect to the second variable,<br />

and this partial differential is continuous on the product. Moreover, DD0(0) = DD(0) is an<br />

isomorphism, so the parametric inverse mapping theorem implies that there are a number α0 > 0<br />

and a neighborhood U of 0 in X 1,p<br />

S ,V ,V ′(Σ,�4n ), such that the set of zeroes in [0, α0[×U of the<br />

above operator consists of a continuous curve [0, α0[∋ α → (α, wα) starting at w0 = 0. Then<br />

α → (α, Tαwα) provides us with the unique curve in M Υ GE (x1, x2; z) converging to (0, u0). This<br />

concludes the proof of Proposition 3.13.<br />

6.4 Proof of Proposition 4.4<br />

Fix some γ1 ∈ P Ω (L1), γ2 ∈ P Ω (L2), and x ∈ P Ω (H1#H2) such that<br />

m Ω (γ1; L1) + m Ω (γ2; L2) − µ Ω (x; H1#H2) = 0.<br />

By a standard argument in Floer homology, the claim that P K Υ is a chain homotopy between KΩ<br />

and ΥΩ ◦ (ΦΩ L1 ⊗ ΦΩ ) is implied by the following statements:<br />

L2<br />

(i) For every (u1, u2) ∈ M Ω Φ (γ1, y1) ×M Ω Φ (γ2, y2) and every u ∈ M Ω Υ (y1, y2; x), where (y1, y2) ∈<br />

P Ω (H1) × P Ω (H2) is such that<br />

µ Ω (y1; H1) + µ Ω (y2; H2) = µ Ω (x; H1#H2),<br />

there exists a unique connected component of M K Υ (γ1, γ2; x) containing a curve (α, uα) such<br />

that α → +∞, uα(·, · −1) and uα converge to u1 and u2 in C ∞ loc ([0, +∞[×[0, 1], T ∗ M), while<br />

uα(·+σ(α), 2 ·−1) converges to u in C ∞ loc (Ê×[0, 1], T ∗ M), for a suitable function σ diverging<br />

at +∞.<br />

(ii) For every u ∈ M Ω K (γ1, γ2; x) there exists a unique connected component of M K Υ (γ1, γ2; x)<br />

containing a curve α ↦→ (α, uα) which converges to (0, u).<br />

Statement (i) can be proved by the standard gluing arguments in Floer theory. Here we prove<br />

statement (ii).<br />

Given u : [0, +∞[×[−1, 1] → T ∗ M, we define ũ : Σ + → T ∗ M 2 by<br />

ũ(s, t) := (−u(s, −t), u(s, t)).<br />

If we define ˜x : [0, 1] → T ∗ M 2 and ˜ H ∈ C ∞ ([0, 1] × T ∗ M 2 ) by<br />

˜x(t) := � −x((1 − t)/2), x((1 + t)/2) � , ˜ H(t, x1, x2) := H1(1 − t, x1) + H2(t, x2),<br />
