Representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra from closed exact Lagrangians I

Abstract

This is the first of a series of two articles aiming at relating the compact Fukaya category of a Weinstein manifold to the derived category of finite dimensional representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the attaching spheres of the critical handles. In this first article we associate a finite dimensional representation $V_L$ to any compact exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$ and prove that for two any such Lagrangian submanifolds $L_0$ and $L_1$ the isomorphism $$HF(L_0, L_1) \cong H^*R\hom_{\mathcal A}(V_{L_0}, V_{L_1})$$ holds. This generalises a previous result of Ekholm and Lekili, but out techniques are different since we use an extension of the Floer theory for Lagrangian cobordisms with negative ends that we developed in collaboration with Roman Golovko.

KAM splittings and equidistributed periodic orbits for stable hypersurfaces

We show that any stable hypersurface of a symplectic $4$-manifold, on which the cohomology class of the symplectic form restricts to a multiple of a rational class, can be $C^\infty$-approximated by (possibly unstable) hypersurfaces whose closed characteristics equidistribute. The cohomological condition is necessary due to a famous example of Herman. The proof combines KAM theory with recent quantitative closing lemmas for Reeb flows and area-preserving maps. As a further application, we prove that every geodesible volume-preserving vector field on a closed three-manifold can be $C^\infty$-approximated by volume-preserving vector fields with equidistributed periodic orbits.

An algebraic generalization of Giroux's criterion

We compute the contact homology algebra of a neighborhood $(\mathbb{R}_τ \times W, ξ)$ of a convex hypersurface $W$ and determine when this algebra is zero or non-zero. Thus we provide a tool for inferring the tightness of such $ξ$ for $W$ of any even dimension. In more detail, consider the augmentations $ε^{\pm}$ of chain-level contact homology algebras of the dividing set $(Γ, ξ_Γ)$ determined by the positive and negative regions of $W$. We compute $CH(\mathbb{R}_τ \times W, ξ)$ as the derived tensor product of the $ε^{\pm}$. Consequently the vanishing or non-vanishing of $CH(\mathbb{R}_τ \times W, ξ)$ is determined by the induced morphisms $Hε^{\pm}$ from $CH(Γ, ξ_Γ)$ to the coefficient ring.

Hofer-Like Geometry Revisited

We prove that the inclusion of the Hamiltonian group $\Ham(M,ω)$ into the identity component \(G_ω(M)\) of the symplectic diffeomorphism group is a bi-Lipschitz embedding with respect to the Hofer norm and the Hofer-like norm, and we identify geometric conditions under which this embedding is isometric: settling a conjecture of Banyaga. This conjecture was proved by Buss and Leclercq; our proof provides explicit equivalence constants. We also detail and simplify Banyaga's original proof of the non-degeneracy of the Hofer-like norm. We then extend the analysis to all of \(G_ω(M)\): for \(ϕ\) with flux class \(γ\), the Hofer-like norm is given by a semidirect-product formula, the infimum over the harmonic locus \(\Harm(γ)\) plus a Hofer residue. This yields a geometric condition for the two norms to agree on the Hamiltonian group. In particular, this geometric condition holds on all closed surfaces of genus $g\ge 2$.
