We discuss various algebraic quantum structures associated to monotone Lagrangian submanifolds and we present a number of applications, computations and examples.
Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold and $L \subset M$ a Lagrangian submanifold. Denote by $[L]$ the homology class induced by $L$ viewed as a class in the quantum homology of $M$. The present paper is concerned with properties and…
This short and fairly informal note is an attempt to explain how methods of homological algebra may be brought to bear on problems in symplectic geometry. We do this by looking at a familiar sample question, which is that of the topology of…
Given a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a symplectic manifold $X$, the homological Lagrangian monodromy group $\mathcal{H}_L$ describes how Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $X$ preserving $L$ setwise act on $H_*(L)$. We begin a systematic study…
We investigate the extrinsic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds and of their submanifolds in closed symplectic manifolds using Floer homological methods. The first result asserts that the homology class of a displaceable monotone…
In this paper we use Floer theory to study topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings in closed symplectic manifolds. One of the phenomena arising from our results is ``homological rigidity'' of Lagrangian submanifolds. Namely, in…
Under certain topological assumptions, we show that two monotone Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in the standard symplectic vector space with the same monotonicity constant cannot link one another and that, individually, their smooth knot…
We study collections of exact Lagrangian submanifolds respecting some uniform Riemannian bounds, which we equip with a metric naturally arising in symplectic topology (e.g. the Lagrangian Hofer metric or the spectral metric). We exhibit…
This survey presents some recent results by the authors and Polterovich on the topological properties of ruled symplectic manifolds. The bundle M \to P \to B that is associated with a ruled manifold has the group of Hamiltonian…
This paper studies the self-Floer theory of a monotone Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of a symplectic manifold $X$ in the presence of various kinds of symmetry. First we suppose $L$ is $K$-homogeneous and compute the image of low codimension…
This short paper shows a topological obstruction of the existence of certain Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic $4m$-manifolds.
In this remark we discuss a relationship between (co)homology classes of a symplectic manifold realized by symplectic and lagrangian objects. We establish some transversality condition for the classes, realized by symplectic divisors and…
We present a new existence mechanism, based on symplectic topology, for orbits of Hamiltonian flows connecting a pair of disjoint subsets in the phase space. The method involves function theory on symplectic manifolds combined with rigidity…
We use the "pearl" machinery in our previous work to study certain enumerative invariants associated to monotone Lagrangian submanifolds.
We consider a Hamiltonian torus action on a compact connected symplectic manifold M. For a certain class of Lagrangian submanifolds Q of M we show that the image of Q under the momentum map is convex. As an application we complete the…
This paper discusses the cobordism of Lagrangian submanifolds (in the monotone setting) and structures it as a category that is related in a functorial way to an appropriate (derived) Fukaya category. Are also discussed obstructions to…
The purpose of this paper is to present some results on the existence of homologous, nonisotopic symplectic or lagrangian surfaces embedded in a simply connected symplectic 4-dimensional manifold.
We extend the definition of Lagrangian quantum homology to monotone Lagrangian cobordism and establish its general algebraic properties. In particular we develop a relative version of Lagrangian quantum homology associated to a cobordism…
We show that, up to Lagrangian isotopy, there is a unique Lagrangian torus inside each of the following uniruled symplectic four-manifolds: the symplectic vector space $\mathbb{R}^4$, the projective plane $\mathbb{C}P^2$, and the monotone…
This is a survey on bi-Lagrangian manifolds, which are symplectic manifolds endowed with two transversal Lagrangian foliations. We also study the non-integrable case (i.e., a symplectic manifold endowed with two transversal Lagrangian…
