Abstract

We circumvent one of the roadblocks in associating Floer homotopy types to monotone Lagrangians, namely the curvature phenomena occurring in high dimensions. Given N3N \ge 3 and RR a connective E1\mathbb E_1-ring spectrum, there is a notion of an NN-truncated, RR-oriented flow category, to which we associate a module prospectrum over the Postnikov truncation τN3R\tau_{\le N - 3}R. This endows ordinary Floer cohomology with an action of the Steenrod algebra over τN3R\tau_{\le N-3}R, and also induces certain generalized cohomology theories. We give sufficient conditions for a closed embedded monotone Lagrangian to admit such well-defined invariants for N=NμN = N_\mu the minimal Maslov number, and R=MUR = MU complex bordism. Finally, we formulate Oh-Pozniak type spectral sequences for these invariants, and show that in the case of RPnCPn\mathbb{RP}^n \subset \mathbb{CP}^n they provide further restrictions on the topology of clean intersections with a Hamiltonian isotopy, not detected by ordinary Floer (co)homology.
