Special Lagrangian webbing
Abstract
We construct families of imaginary special Lagrangian cylinders near transverse Maslov index or intersection points of positive Lagrangian submanifolds in a general Calabi-Yau manifold. Hence, we obtain geodesics of open positive Lagrangian submanifolds near such intersection points. Moreover, this result is a first step toward the non-perturbative construction of geodesics of closed positive Lagrangian submanifolds. Also, we introduce a method for proving regularity of geodesics of positive Lagrangians at the non-smooth locus. This method is used to show that geodesics of positive Lagrangian spheres persist under small perturbations of endpoints, improving the regularity of a previous result of the authors. In particular, we obtain the first examples of solutions to the positive Lagrangian geodesic equation in arbitrary dimension that are not invariant under isometries. Along the way, we study geodesics of positive Lagrangian linear subspaces in a complex vector space, and prove an a priori existence result in the case of Maslov index or Throughout the paper, the cylindrical transform introduced in previous work of the authors plays a key role.
