Explicit constructions of quilts with seam condition coming from symplectic reduction

Abstract

Associated to a symplectic quotient M/ ⁣/GM/\!/G is a Lagrangian correspondence ΛG\Lambda_G from M/ ⁣/GM/\!/G to MM. In this note, we construct in two examples quilts with seam condition on such a correspondence, in the case of S1S^1 acting on CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 with symplectic quotient CP2/ ⁣/S1=CP1\mathbb{CP}^2/\!/ S^1 = \mathbb{CP}^1. First, we study the quilted strips that would, if not for figure eight bubbling, identify the Floer chain groups CF(γ,SCl1)CF(\gamma,S_{\text{Cl}}^1) and CF(RP2,TCl2)CF(\mathbb{RP}^2,T_{\text{Cl}}^2), where γ\gamma is the connected double-cover of RP1\mathbb{RP}^1. Second, we answer a question due to Akveld-Cannas da Silva-Wehrheim by explicitly producing a figure eight bubble which obstructs an isomorphism between two Floer chain groups. The figure eight bubbles we construct in this paper are the first concrete examples of this phenomenon.
