Bordism from quasi-isomorphism
Abstract
Let be a graded Liouville domain. Fix a pair of infinite loop spaces living over . This determines a spectral Fukaya category whenever lifts to , containing closed exact Lagrangians for which lifts compatibly to ; and by Bott periodicity and index theory, a Thom spectrum with bordism theory . Suppose that and are quasi-isomorphic in the Fukaya category over . We prove that: (a) if both lift to , then there is a rank one -local system over so that and are quasi-isomorphic in the spectral Fukaya category; (b) when is polarised and , if only lifts to , then the composition of the stable Gauss map of and the delooped -homomorphism is nullhomotopic. Combined with the computation of the open-closed fundamental class associated to in \cite{PS3}, these results have applications to bordism and stable homotopy types of quasi-isomorphic Lagrangians, to Hamiltonian monodromy groups, and to smooth structures on nearby Lagrangians. A key ingredient in the proofs is a new form of obstruction theory for flow categories `lying over' a manifold , closely related to a `spectral Viterbo restriction functor' also introduced here.
