Abstract

In this article, we construct a 22-category of Lagrangians in a fixed shifted symplectic derived stack S. The objects and morphisms are all given by Lagrangians living on various fiber products. A special case of this gives a 22-category of nn-shifted symplectic derived stacks SympnSymp^n. This is a 22-category version of Weinstein's symplectic category in the setting of derived symplectic geometry. We introduce another 22-category SymporSymp^{or} of 00-shifted symplectic derived stacks where the objects and morphisms in Symp0Symp^0 are enhanced with orientation data. Using this, we define a partially linearized 22-category LSympLSymp. Joyce and his collaborators defined a certain perverse sheaf on any oriented (1)(-1)-shifted symplectic derived stack. In LSympLSymp, the 22-morphisms in SymporSymp^{or} are replaced by the hypercohomology of the perverse sheaf assigned to the (1)(-1)-shifted symplectic derived Lagrangian intersections. To define the compositions in LSympLSymp we use a conjecture by Joyce, that Lagrangians in (1)(-1)-shifted symplectic stacks define canonical elements in the hypercohomology of the perverse sheaf over the Lagrangian. We refine and expand his conjecture and use it to construct LSympLSymp and a 22-functor from SymporSymp^{or} to LSympLSymp. We prove Joyce's conjecture in the most general local model. Finally, we define a 22-category of dd-oriented derived stacks and fillings. Taking mapping stacks into a nn-shifted symplectic stack defines a 22-functor from this category to SympndSymp^{n-d}.
