Abstract

The first main theme of this paper is to study symplectic (un-)knottedness of Lagrangian submanifolds which are not tori. Our construction of such Lagrangians is inspired by the generalized Polterovich Lagrangians of Oakley--Usher and relies on an adaption of symplectic reduction methods going back to Chekanov--Schlenk and McDuff's probes to the case of non-abelian group actions. We compare Oakley--Usher Lagrangians to their (un-)knotted cousins to find that, depending on the situation, they are: (1) not diffeomorphic, (2) diffeomorphic, but not Lagrangian isotopic; (3) Lagrangian isotopic, but not Hamiltonian isotopic, (4) Hamiltonian isotopic. This relationship between them frequently changes when the ambient space is compactified. The second main theme is an in-depth study of monotone Lagrangian tori obtained from appyling our constructions to the three-dimensional quadric $Q^3$. Computing the versal deformation of the $\Psi$-invariant of Shelukhin--Tonkonog--Vianna, we find a torus which is knotted in a strong sense: it is not Hamiltonian isotopic to the Biran-lift of any Vianna torus in the two-dimensional quadric. Furthermore, we investigate enumerative properties of the Oakley--Usher torus in $Q^3$ and prove its non-displaceability, settling an open question asked by Oakley--Usher. We relate this to mirror symmetry by proving a split-generation result for the monotone Fukaya category of $Q^3$, which is inspired by, and can be compared to a similar result of Abouzaid--Diogo for cotangent bundles of the sphere.

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.
