Displacing Lagrangians in the manifolds of full flags in C^3

Abstract

In symplectic geometry a question of great importance is whether a (Lagrangian) submanifold is displaceable, that is, if it can be made disjoint from itself by the means of a Hamiltonian isotopy. In these notes we analyze the coadjoint orbits of SU(n) and their Lagrangian submanifolds that are fibers of the Gelfand-Tsetlin map. We use the coadjoint action to displace a large collection of these fibers. Then we concentrate on the case n=3 and apply McDuff's method of probes to show that "most" of the generic Gelfand-Tsetlin fibers are displaceable. "Most" means "all but one" in the non-monotone case, and means "all but a 1-parameter family" in the monotone case. In the case of non-monotone manifold of full flags we present explicitly an unique non-displaceable Lagrangian fiber (S^1)^3. This fiber was already proved to be non-displaceable in \cite{NNU}. Our contribution is in displacing other fibers and thus proving the uniqueness.

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.
