Abstract

Viterbo has conjectured that any Lagrangian in the unit co-disc bundle of a torus which is Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero-section satisfies a uniform bound on its spectral norm; a recent result by Shelukhin showed that this is indeed the case. The modest goal of this note is to explore two natural generalisations of the above geometric setting in which the bound of the spectral norm fails: first, passing to Legendrian isotopies in the contactisation of the unit co-disc bundle (Hamiltonian isotopies lift to Legendrian isotopies) and, second, considering Hamiltonian isotopies but after modifying the co-disc bundle by attaching a critical Weinstein one-handle.

Tightness of Chekanov's bound on displacement energy for some Lagrangian knots

By a classical theorem of Chekanov, the displacement energy, $e$, of a Lagrangian submanifold is bounded from below by the minimal area, $\hbar$, of pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundary on the Lagrangian. We compute $e$ and $\hbar$ for displaceable Chekanov tori in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, and for an infinite family of exotic tori in $\mathbb{C}^3$ constructed by Brendel. In these families, $e=\hbar$. We compare continuity properties of $e$ and $\hbar$ on the space of Lagrangians. This provides an example (suggested by Fukaya, Oh, Ohta, and Ono) where $e>\hbar$. Our calculations have further applications such as a new proof, inspired by work of Auroux, that Brendel's family of exotic tori consists of infinitely many distinct Lagrangians.

On intrinsic homological mirror symmetry for toric degenerations

This paper studies the Floer-theoretic aspects of homological mirror symmetry inspired by proposals of Perutz and Siebert and the Gross--Siebert intrinsic mirror symmetry program. Given a maximally unipotent degeneration of smooth projective Calabi--Yau manifolds over the punctured disk, we construct a ring using the fixed point Floer cohomology groups of the iterates of the monodromy of the degeneration equipped with the pair of pants product. Under the assumption that this ring is commutative, we can consider a candidate mirror family defined by the relative Proj construction. Further assuming that a smooth fiber $X_t$ contains a so-called tropical Lagrangian section, we construct a fully faithful embedding from the derived category of perfect complexes on our candidate mirror family into the Fukaya category of $X_t$. We verify both of these assumptions for certain Batyrev--Borisov toric degenerations, as well as some toric degenerations of Calabi--Yau threefolds coming from the Gross--Siebert reconstruction algorithm. These two geometric hypotheses are both phrased to support the general study of mirror symmetry for maximally unipotent degenerations of Calabi--Yau manifolds, largely reducing the symplectic inputs for proving homological mirror symmetry to the problem of constructing tropical Lagrangian sections.

$b^k$-Symplectic Manifolds and $[Q,R]=0$

We study the geometric quantization of $b^k$-symplectic manifolds using the integrability of Lie algebroids. Using a groupoid index, we define a quantization for $b^k$-symplectic manifolds whose singular locus is a normal crossing divisor and which carry a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group, generalizing Guillemin--Miranda--Weitsman in a few directions. Firstly, we show this quantization is the index of a $\spinc$-Dirac operator, answering a question of theirs. In particular, it is a finite-dimensional virtual representation for every $k$, whereas their formal quantization is infinite-dimensional when the modular degrees are even. Secondly, our symplectic form can have singularities along hypersurfaces which can have normal crossings. Finally, we prove that quantization commutes with reduction for the Hamiltonian action of a possibly non-abelian compact connected Lie group, when the modular degrees are odd. In the case when the modular degrees are not odd, we give an example when $[Q,R]=0$ fails.
