Split Canonical Relations

Abstract

A Lagrangian subspace $L$ of a weak symplectic vector space is called \emph{split Lagrangian} if it has an isotropic (hence Lagrangian) complement. When the symplectic structure is strong, it is sufficient for $L$ to have a closed complement, which can then be moved to become isotropic. The purpose of this note is to develop the theory of compositions and reductions of split canonical relations for symplectic vector spaces. We give conditions on a coisotropic subspace $C$ of a weak symplectic space $V$ which imply that the induced canonical relation $L_C$ from $V$ to $C/C^{\omega}$ is split, and, from these, we find sufficient conditions for split canonical relations to compose well. We prove that the canonical relations arising in the Poisson sigma model from the Lagrangian field theoretical approach are split, giving a description of symplectic groupoids integrating Poisson manifolds in terms of split canonical relations.

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.
