Lagrangian unknottedness in Stein surfaces

چکیده
We show that the space of Lagrangian spheres inside the cotangent bundle of the 2-sphere is contractible. We then discuss the phenomenon of Lagrangian unknottedness in other Stein surfaces. There exist homotopic Lagrangian spheres which are not Hamiltonian isotopic, but we show that in a typical case all such spheres are still equivalent under a symplectomorphism.

Lagrangian Two-spheres Can Be Symplectically Knotted
In the past few years there have been several striking results about the topology of Lagrangian surfaces in symplectic four-manifolds. The general tendency of these results is that many isotopy classes of embedded surfaces do not contain Lagrangian representatives. This is called the topological unknottedness of Lagrangian surfaces; see [4] for a survey. The aim of this paper is to complement t...
متن کاملUnknotted Strand Routings of Triangulated Meshes
In molecular self-assembly such as DNA origami, a circular strand’s topological routing determines the feasibility of a design to assemble to a target. In this regard, the Chinese-postman DNA scaffold routings of Benson et al. (2015) only ensure the unknottedness of the scaffold strand for triangulated topological spheres. In this paper, we present a cubic-time 5 3 −approximation algorithm to c...

متن کاملEquiaffine Characterization of Lagrangian Surfaces in R
For non-degenerate surfaces in R, a distinguished transversal bundle called affine normal plane bundle was proposed in [8]. Lagrangian surfaces have remarkable properties with respect to this normal bundle, like for example, the normal bundle being Lagrangian. In this paper we characterize those surfaces which are Lagrangian with respect to some parallel symplectic form in R. Mathematics Subjec...
