Abstract
Abstract

Let $(M, J, ω)$ be a manifold with an almost complex structure $J$ tamed by a symplectic form $ω$ . We suppose that $M$ has the complex dimension two, is Levi-convex and with bounded geometry. We prove that a real two-sphere with two elliptic points, embedded into the boundary of $M$ can be foliated by the boundaries of pseudoholomorphic discs.

Soit $(M, J, ω)$ une variété dont la structure presque complexe $J$ est contrôlée par la forme symplectique $ω$ . On suppose $M$ de dimension complexe deux, Levi-convexe et à géométrie bornée. On démontre que toute 2-sphère possédant deux points elliptiques et plongée dans le bord de $M$ est feuilletée par des bords de disques pseudoholomorphes.
