Abstract

This paper continues the analysis begun in {\it Polytopes with mass linear functions, Part I} of the structure of smooth moment polytopes $Δ\subset \ft^*$ that support a mass linear function $H \in \ft$. As explained there, besides its purely combinatorial interest, this question is relevant to the study of the homomorphism $π_1(T^n)\to π_1(\Symp(M_Δ, ω_Δ))$ from the fundamental group of the torus $T^n$ to that of the group of symplectomorphisms of the $2n$-dimensional symplectic toric manifold $(M_Δ, ω_Δ)$ associated to $Δ$. In Part I, we made a general investigation of this question and classified all mass linear pairs $(Δ, H)$ in dimensions up to three. The main result of the current paper is a classification of all 4-dimensional examples. Along the way, we investigate the properties of general constructions such as fibrations, blowups and expansions (or wedges), describing their effect both on moment polytopes and on mass linear functions. We end by discussing the relation of mass linearity to Shelukhin's notion of full mass linearity. The two concepts agree in dimensions up to and including 4. However full mass linearity may be the more natural concept when considering the question of which blow ups preserve mass linearity.

Extended Future Tube Conjecture for Unipotent Subgroups

Let $\Omega$ be the Lorentz future cone in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to the Lorentz product and let $T^M$ be the $M$-fold product of the future tube $T=\mathbb{R}^{d+1}+i\Omega$. The Lorentz group $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$ acts diagonally on $T^M$, and its complexification $\mathrm{SO}(1,d)^\mathbb{C}$ acts on $\mathbb{C}^{(d+1)\times M}$. We prove that the domain $G^\mathbb{C}\cdot T^M$ is a Stein manifold for any connected unipotent subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$.

The First Correction Term in the Asymptotic Expansion of Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian States

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifold of a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a holomorphic prequantum line bundle. We study the asymptotic expansion of the Lagrangian states associated with $\Lambda$. In particular, we compute explicitly the first nontrivial correction term and show that it is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the ambient K\"ahler manifold and the Lagrangian submanifold, including their scalar curvatures, the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature. As a consequence, we obtain the corresponding second-order asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Lagrangian states.

Classification of Legendrian doubles and suspensions

We define a construction of Legendrians inside contact manifolds that arise by doubling an exact Lagrangian filling in the page of an open book decomposition. This can be seen as a generalization of a previous construction by Courte and Ekholm to arbitrary open books. These Legendrians, called Legendrian doubles, are shown to admit regular flexible exact Lagrangian fillings, and they are thus classified up to Legendrian isotopy by classical data. Finally, we show that the Legendrian suspension construction, as defined by Arikan and the author in previous work,-this is a Legendrian contained inside a page of an open book that is obtained by using Seidel's suspension of Lefschetz fibrations- is a Legendrian double.
