We suggest a general framework for compactifing quasi-projective Lagrangian fibrations of geometric origin by holomorphic symplectic varieties. This framework includes a compactification criterion, which we then apply to various fibrations…

This is the fourth in a series of five papers math.DG/0211294, math.DG/0211295, math.DG/0302355, math.DG/0303272 studying compact special Lagrangian submanifolds (SL m-folds) X in (almost) Calabi-Yau m-folds M with singularities x_1,...,x_n…

Given a compact complex manifold $M$, we investigate the holomorphic vector bundles $E$ on $M$ such that $\varphi^* E$ is trivial for some surjective holomorphic map $\varphi$, to $M$, from some compact complex manifold. We prove that these…

We study the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in standard symplectic vector spaces $\mathbb{C}^n$ using ideas from open-closed string topology. Specifically, for a closed, oriented, spin Lagrangian $L$, we construct a (possibly curved)…

This paper develops a symplectic bifurcation theory for integrable systems in dimension four. We prove that if an integrable system has no hyperbolic singularities and its bifurcation diagram has no vertical tangencies, then the fibers of…

This paper considers the natural geometric structure on the moduli space of deformations of a compact special Lagrangian submanifold $L^n$ of a Calabi-Yau manifold. From the work of McLean this is a smooth manifold with a natural $L^2$…

A near-symplectic structure on a 4-manifold is a closed 2-form that is symplectic away from the 1-dimensional submanifold along which it vanishes and that satisfies a certain transversality condition along this vanishing locus. We…

In an earlier paper, we showed that the moduli space of deformations of a smooth, compact, orientable special Lagrangian submanifold L in a symplectic manifold X with a non-integrable almost complex structure is a smooth manifold of…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperkahler manifold equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $\pi:\; M \to X$, and $M'$ the smooth locus of $\pi$. We prove that over a complement to a codimension $\geq 2$ subset in $X$, the projection $\pi:\; M' \to X$…

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ be a polytope of dimension $m$ with $n$ facets. Assume that $P$ is Delzant and Fano. We associate a monotone embedded Lagrangian $L \subset \mathbb{C}P^{n-1}$ to $P$. As an abstract manifold, the Lagrangian $L$…

Motivated by the strong nearby Lagrangian conjecture, we constrain the parametrised Whitehead torsion of a family of closed exact Lagrangian submanifolds in a cotangent bundle. We prove the parametrised Whitehead torsion admits a…

In dimensions congruent to 1 modulo 4, we prove that the cotangent bundle of an exotic sphere which does not bound a parallelisable manifold is not symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle of the standard sphere. More precisely, we prove…

The space Loc(m,S) of rank m flat bundles on a closed surface S is K_2-symplectic. A threefold M bounding S gives rise a K_2-Lagrangian in Loc(m,S) given by the flat bundles on S extending to M. We generalize this, replacing the zero…

The Hamiltonian shape invariant of a domain $X \subset \mathbb R^4$, as a subset of $\mathbb R^2$, describes the product Lagrangian tori which may be embedded in $X$. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions to determine whether or…

Mironov, Panov and Kotelskiy studied Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangians inside $\mathbb{C}^n$. They associated a closed embedded Lagrangian $L$ to each Delzant polytope $P$. In this paper we develop their ideas and prove that $L$ is monotone…

Given two locally conformal symplectic (LCS) structures on manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$, we construct a natural $\R^+$-torsor of locally conformal symplectic structures on a certain covering space $M_1 \boxplus M_2$ of $M_1 \times M_2$. As the…
