Exact Lagrangian Submanifolds in Simply-connected Cotangent Bundles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider exact Lagrangian submanifolds in cotangent bundles. Under certain additional restrictions (triviality of the fundamental group of the cotangent bundle, and of the Maslov class and second Stiefel-Whitney class of the Lagrangian submanifold) we prove such submanifolds are Floer-cohomologically indistinguishable from the zero-section. This implies strong restrictions on their topology. An essentially equivalent result was recently proved independently by Nadler [12], using a different approach.

The Symplectic Geometry of Cotangent Bundles from a Categorical Viewpoint
We describe various approaches to understanding Fukaya categories of cotangent bundles. All of the approaches rely on introducing a suitable class of noncompact Lagrangian submanifolds. We review the work of Nadler-Zaslow [28, 27] and the authors [14], before discussing a new approach using family Floer cohomology [10] and the “wrapped Fukaya category”. The latter, inspired by Viterbo’s symplec...

We prove that the space of Hamiltonian deformations of zero section in a cotangent bundle of a compact manifold is locally flat in the Hofer metric and we describe its geodesics.
متن کاملTwisted Legendre transformation
The general framework of Legendre transformation is extended to the case of symplectic groupoids, using an appropriate generalization of the notion of generating function (of a Lagrangian submanifold). 1 Tulczyjew triple and its generalization The general framework of Legendre transformation was introduced by Tulczyjew [1]. It consists in recognition of the following structure, which we call th...

متن کاملOn the Extrinsic Topology of Lagrangian Submanifolds
We investigate the extrinsic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds and of their submanifolds in closed symplectic manifolds using Floer homological methods. The first result asserts that the homology class of a displaceable monotone Lagrangian submanifold vanishes in the homology of the ambient symplectic manifold. Combining this with spectral invariants we provide a new mechanism for proving Lag...
