Flexible Lagrangians
Abstract
We introduce and discuss notions of regularity and flexibility for Lagrangian manifolds with Legendrian boundary in Weinstein domains. There is a surprising abundance of flexible Lagrangians. In turn, this leads to new constructions of Legendrians submanifolds and Weinstein manifolds. For instance, many closed -manifolds of dimension can be realized as exact Lagrangian submanifolds of with possibly exotic Weinstein symplectic structures. These Weinstein structures on , infinitely many of which are distinct, are formed by a single handle attachment to the standard -ball along the Legendrian boundaries of flexible Lagrangians. We also formulate a number of open problems.
