Abstract

We establish various stability results for symplectic surfaces in symplectic 4-manifolds with b+ = 1. These results are then applied to prove the existence of representatives of Lagrangian ADE-configurations as well as to classify negative symplectic spheres in symplectic 4-manifolds with k. This involves the explicit construction of spheres in rational manifolds via a new construction technique called the tilted transport.
