Uniqueness of Lagrangians in $T^*RP2$

Symplectic Geometry 2024-01-09 v2

Abstract

We present a new and simpler proof of the fact that any Lagrangian RP2\mathbb{R}P^2 in TRP2T^*\mathbb{R}P^2 is Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero section. Our proof mirrors the one given by Li and Wu for the Hamiltonian uniqueness of Lagrangians in TS2T^*S^2, using surgery to turn Lagrangian spheres into symplectic ones. The main novel contribution is a detailed proof of the folklore fact that the complement of a symplectic quadric in CP2\mathbb{C}P^2 can be identified with the unit cotangent disc bundle of RP2\mathbb{R}P^2.
