A distance expanding flow on exact Lagrangian cobordism classes
Abstract
Given an exact Lagrangian $L$ of an exact symplectic manifold $(M,dλ)$, Cornea and Shelukhin recently introduced a remarkable "cobordism metric" $d_c$ on the exact Lagrangian cobordism class $\mathcal{L}(L)$ of $L$. In this note we show that the Liouville flow of $(M,dλ)$ induces a flow on $(\mathcal{L}(L),d_c)$ which expands cobordism distances. In particular we deduce that $(\mathcal{L}(L),d_c)$ has infinite diameter whenever the Liouville flow is complete. We also discuss (Hamiltonian and Lagrangian) Hofer-geometric versions of our result. The proof only uses elementary differential geometry.
