The Lagrangian Cubic Equation

Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold and $L \subset M$ a Lagrangian submanifold. Denote by $[L]$ the homology class induced by $L$ viewed as a class in the quantum homology of $M$. The present paper is concerned with properties and identities involving the class $[L]$ in the quantum homology ring. We also study the relations between these identities and invariants of $L$ coming from Lagrangian Floer theory. We pay special attention to the case when $L$ is a Lagrangian sphere.Comment: 57 pages, 5 figure

The Lagrangian Cubic Equation

Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold and $L \subset M$ a Lagrangian submanifold. Denote by $[L]$ the homology class induced by $L$ viewed as a class in the quantum homology of $M$. This paper is concerned with properties and identities involving the class $[L]$ in the quantum homology ring. We also study the relations between these identities and invariants of $L$ coming from Lagrangian Floer theory. We pay special attention to the case when $L$ is a Lagrangian sphere.Communicated by Prof. Mohammed Abouzai
