Abstract

Given a closed, oriented Lagrangian submanifold LL in a Liouville domain M\overline{M}, one can define a Maurer-Cartan element with respect to a certain LL_\infty-structure on the string homology H^S1(LL;R)\widehat{H}_\ast^{S^1}(\mathcal{L}L;\mathbb{R}), completed with respect to the action filtration. When the first Gutt-Hutchings capacity of M\overline{M} is finite, and LL is a K(π,1)K(\pi,1) space, we show that LL bounds a pseudoholomorphic disc of Maslov index 2. This confirms a general form of Audin's conjecture and generalizes the works of Fukaya and Irie in the case of Cn\mathbb{C}^n to a wide class of Liouville manifolds, which includes low degree smooth affine hypersurfaces in Cn+1\mathbb{C}^{n+1}. In particular, when dimR(M)=6\dim_\mathbb{R}(\overline{M})=6, every closed, orientable, prime Lagrangian 3-manifold LML\subset\overline{M} is diffeomorphic either to a spherical space form, or S1×ΣgS^1\times\Sigma_g, where Σg\Sigma_g is a closed oriented surface.
