Abstract

In this paper we introduce the following new ingredients: (1) rework on part of the Lagrangian surgery theory; (2) constructions of Lagrangian cobordisms on product symplectic manifolds; (3) extending Biran-Cornea Lagrangian cobordism theory to the immersed category. As a result, we manifest Seidel's exact sequences (both the Lagrangian version and the symplectomorphism version), as well as Wehrheim-Woodward's family Dehn twist sequence (including the codimension-1 case missing in the literature) as consequences of our surgery/cobordism constructions. Moreover, we obtain an expression of the autoequivalence of Fukaya category induced by Dehn twists along Lagrangian RPn\mathbb{RP}^n, CPn\mathbb{CP}^n and HPn\mathbb{HP}^n, which matches Huybrechts-Thomas's mirror prediction of the CPn\mathbb{CP}^n case modulo connecting maps. We also prove the split generation of any symplectomorphism by Dehn twists in ADEADE-type Milnor fibers.
