A Lagrangian Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz morphism and two comparison homomorphisms in Floer homology

Abstract

In this article we address two issues. First, we explore to what extent the techniques of Piunikhin, Salamon and Schwarz in [PSS96] can be carried over to Lagrangian Floer homology. In [PSS96] an isomorphism between Hamiltonian Floer homology and the singular homology is established. In contrast, Lagrangian Floer homology is not isomorphic to the singular homology of the Lagrangian submanifold, in general. Depending on the minimal Maslov number, we construct for certain degrees two homomorphisms between Lagrangian Floer homology and singular homology. In degrees where both maps are defined we prove them to be isomorphisms. Examples show that this statement is sharp. Second, we construct two comparison homomorphisms between Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Floer homology. They underly no degree restrictions and are proven to be the natural analogs to the homomorphisms in singular homology induced by the inclusion map of the Lagrangian submanifold into the ambient symplectic manifold.

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.
