Abstract

Let XX be a Calabi--Yau manifold and QXQ\subset X a closed connected embedded special Lagrangian; closed Lagrangians mean compact Lagrangian submanifolds without boundary. We prove that if the fundamental group π1Q\pi_1Q is abelian then there exists a Weinstein neighbourhood of QXQ\subset X in which every closed irreducibly immersed special Lagrangian with unobstructed Floer cohomology is C1C^1 close to Q.Q. We prove also that if π1Q\pi_1Q is virtually solvable then for every positive integer RR there exists a Weinstein neighbourhood of QXQ\subset X in which every closed irreducibly immersed special Lagrangian of degree R\le R and with unobstructed Floer cohomology is unbranched; that is, the projection LQL\to Q is a covering map. We prove a stronger statement when π1Q\pi_1Q is finite and a weaker statement when π1Q\pi_1Q has no non-abelian free subgroups. The π1Q\pi_1Q conditions, the Floer cohomology condition and the special Lagrangian condition are all essential as we show by counterexamples.
