Abstract
We show that immersed Lagrangian Floer cohomology in compact rational symplectic manifolds is invariant under Maslov flows such as coupled mean curvature/Kaehler-Ricci flow in the sense of Smoczyk as a pair of self-intersection points is born or dies at a self-tangency, using results of Ekholm-Etnyre-Sullivan. This proves part of a conjecture of Joyce. We give a lower bound on the time for which the Floer cohomology is invariant under the (forward or backwards) flow, if it exists. This post-publication has an erratum written jointly with Hadi Azizi, which fills in a missing case in the proof Lemma 7.9 (b).
