On Hofer’s Geometry of the Space of Lagrangian Submanifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey some results in extending the Finsler geometry of the group of Hamil-tonian diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold, known as Hofer's geometry, to the space of Lagrangian embeddings. Our intent is to illustrate some ideas of this still developing field, rather then to be complete or comprehensive.

Isotropic Lagrangian Submanifolds in Complex Space Forms
In this paper we study isotropic Lagrangian submanifolds , in complex space forms . It is shown that they are either totally geodesic or minimal in the complex projective space , if . When , they are either totally geodesic or minimal in . We also give a classification of semi-parallel Lagrangian H-umbilical submanifolds.
متن کاملMaslov Class Rigidity for Lagrangian Submanifolds via Hofer’s Geometry
In this work, we establish new rigidity results for the Maslov class of Lagrangian submanifolds in large classes of closed and convex symplectic manifolds. Our main result establishes upper bounds for the minimal Maslov number of displaceable Lagrangian submanifolds which are product manifolds whose factors each admit a metric of negative sectional curvature. Such Lagrangian submanifolds exist ...
متن کاملDisplacement Energy of Coisotropic Submanifolds and Hofer’s Geometry
We prove that the displacement energy of a stable coisotropic submanifold is bounded away from zero if the ambient symplectic manifold is closed, rational and satisfies a mild topological condition.
متن کاملSpin geometry of Kähler manifolds and the Hodge Laplacian on minimal Lagrangian submanifolds
From the existence of parallel spinor fields on CalabiYau, hyper-Kähler or complex flat manifolds, we deduce the existence of harmonic differential forms of different degrees on their minimal Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular, when the submanifolds are compact, we obtain sharp estimates on their Betti numbers. When the ambient manifold is Kähler-Einstein with positive scalar curvature, and...
متن کاملSplit Special Lagrangian Geometry
One purpose of this article is to draw attention to the seminal work of J. Mealy in 1989 on calibrations in semi-riemannian geometry where split SLAG geometry was first introduced. The natural setting is provided by doing geometry with the complex numbers C replaced by the double numbers D, where i with i = −1 is replaced by τ with τ = 1. A rather surprising amount of complex geometry carries o...
