    Functoriality for Lagrangian correspondences in Floer theory

    Get PDF
    Using quilted Floer cohomology and relative quilt invariants, we define a composition functor for categories of Lagrangian correspondences in monotone and exact symplectic Floer theory. We show that this functor agrees with geometric composition in the case that the composition is smooth and embedded. As a consequence we obtain 'categorification commutes with composition' for Lagrangian correspondences.Comment: minor corrections and updated references; original 120 page preprint got split into 4 parts - this is one of the

    A wall-crossing formula for Gromov-Witten invariants under variation of git quotient

    Full text link
    We prove a quantum version of Kalkman's wall-crossing formula comparing Gromov-Witten invariants on geometric invariant theory (git) quotients related by a change in polarization. The wall-crossing terms are gauged Gromov-Witten invariants with smaller structure group. As an application, we show that the graph Gromov-Witten potentials of quotients related by wall-crossings of crepant type are equivalent up to a distribution in the quantum parameter that is almost everywhere zero. This is a version of the crepant transformation conjecture of Li-Ruan, Bryan-Graber, Coates-Ruan etc. in cases where the crepant transformation is obtained by variation of git.Comment: 64 pages, 1 figure.

    Floer Cohomology and Geometric Composition of Lagrangian Correspondences

    Get PDF
    We prove an isomorphism of Floer cohomologies under geometric composition of Lagrangian correspondences in exact and monotone settings.Comment: minor corrections, in particular more precise formulation of monotonicity assumption

    Fukaya categories of blowups

    Full text link
    We compute the Fukaya category of the symplectic blowup of a compact rational symplectic manifold at a point in the following sense: Suppose a collection of Lagrangian branes satisfy Abouzaid's criterion for split-generation of a bulk-deformed Fukaya category of cleanly-intersecting Lagrangian branes. We show that for a small blow-up parameter, their inverse images in the blowup together with a collection of branes near the exceptional locus split-generate the Fukaya category of the blowup. This categorifies a result on quantum cohomology by Bayer and is an example of a more general conjectural description of the behavior of the Fukaya category under transitions occuring in the minimal model program, namely that mmp transitions generate additional summands.Comment: 82 page

    Augmentation varieties and disk potentials

    Full text link
    We elaborate on a suggestion of Aganagic-Ekholm-Ng-Vafa, that in order for Lagrangian fillings such as the Harvey-Lawson filling to define augmentations of Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebras, one should count configurations of holomorphic disks connected by gradient trajectories. We propose a definition of the Chekanov-Eliashberg dga in higher dimensions which includes as generators both Reeb chords and the space of chains on the Legendrian, similar to the definition of immersed Lagrangian Floer theory whose generators are chains on the Lagrangian as well as self-intersection points. We prove that for connected Legendrian covers of monotone Lagrangian tori, the augmentation variety in this model is equal to the image of the zero level set of the disk potential, as suggested by Dimitroglou-Rizell-Golovko. In particular, we show that Legendrian lifts of Vianna's exotic tori are not Legendrian isotopic, as conjectured in Dimitroglou-Rizell-Golovko. Using related ideas, we show that the Legendrian lift of the Clifford torus admits no exact fillings, extending the results of Dimitroglou-Rizell and Treumann-Zaslow in dimension two. We consider certain disconnected Legendrians, and show, similar to another suggestion of Aganagic-Ekholm-Ng-Vafa, that the components of the augmentation variety correspond to certain partitions and each component is defined by a (not necessarily exact) Lagrangian filling. An adaptation of the theory of holomorphic quilts shows that the cobordism maps associated to bounding chains are independent of all choices up to chain homotopy.Comment: 157 page
