Abstract

We develop a calculus for counting pseudoholomorphic disks with boundary in tropical Lagrangians contained in almost toric manifolds, using our previous work with Venugopalan. The results are mostly in dimension four under monotonicity assumptions although in principle the same technique works in any dimension and without monotonicity. The calculus is given as a sum over tropical graphs that interact with the tropical graph of the Lagrangian, generalizing results of Mikhalkin and Nishinou-Siebert for holomorphic spheres in toric varieties, and our previous result with Venugopalan which dealt with disks bounding almost toric moment fibers. The main contribution of this paper is the calculation of several multiplicities of vertices corresponding to disks, such as the holomorphic pant (half of the holomorphic pair of pants) and various univalent vertices occuring at trivalent vertices of the graph of the Lagrangian; a key tool is a Lagrangian isotopy from the Lagrangian pair of pants in the del Pezzo of degree seven to the inverse image of a diagonal, which is a special case of a results of Hind and Evans. We show that every integer eigenvalue of non-maximal modulus for quantum multiplication by the first Chern class is realized by such a sphere.

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 $g\ge 2$.

Kodaira fibres and wrapped Floer cohomology

Let $F$ be a singular fibre of a relatively minimal complex elliptic fibration with smooth total space, and let $Ω$ be a nonvanishing holomorphic two-form near $F$. We show that a small neighbourhood of $F$ is a Weinstein domain for $\mathrm{Re}\,Ω$ whose completion is a Legendrian surgery, with cocores obtained by completing holomorphic disks transverse to the components of $F$. For every coefficient field and every multiplicative bulk class, we compute the wrapped Floer cohomology of these cocores and prove that it is concentrated in degree zero. The cocores generate, so the bulk-deformed wrapped Fukaya category is equivalent to the category of perfect modules over an explicit algebra: a multiplicative preprojective algebra of affine type for the normal crossing fibres, and a quiver algebra with relations for types $II$, $III$ and $IV$. Applications include formality of the affine plumbing dg algebras, mirror equivalences with resolved affine surfaces at the trivial bulk class, and with quotient stacks of algebraic tori at root-of-unity bulk classes for the four star-shaped fibres.
