Abstract

We consider semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$-manifolds of dimension six and establish when the equivariant cohomology and data on the fixed point set determine the isomorphism type. Gonzales listed conditions under which the isomorphism type of such spaces is determined by fixed point data. We pointed out in an earlier paper that this result as stated is erroneous, and proved a corrected version. However, that version relied on a certain distribution of fixed points that is not at all necessary. In this paper, we replace the latter assumption with a global assumption on equivariant cohomology that is necessary for an isomorphism. We also extend our result to the equivariant (non-symplectic) topological category. The variation in the earlier paper was tailored to suit the requirements of Cho's application of Gonzales' statement to classify semi-free monotone, Hamiltonian $S^1$-manifolds of dimension six. In the current paper, we aim to give the definitive statement relating fixed point data and equivariant cohomology to the isomorphism type of a semi-free Hamiltonian $S^1$-manifold.

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.
