Let k>2. We prove that the cotangent bundles of oriented homotopy (2k-1)-spheres S and S are symplectomorphic only if the classes defined by S and S agree up to sign in the quotient group of oriented homotopy spheres modulo those which bound parallelizable manifolds. We also show that if the connect sum of real projective space of dimension (4k-1) and a homotopy (4k-1)-sphere admits a Lagrangian embedding in complex projective space, then twice the homotopy sphere framed bounds. The proofs build on previous work of Abouzaid and the authors, in combination with a new cut-and-paste argument, which also gives rise to some interesting explicit exact Lagrangian embeddings into plumbings. As another application, we show that there are re-parameterizations of the zero-section in the cotangent bundle of a sphere which are not Hamiltonian isotopic (as maps, rather than as submanifolds) to the original zero-section.

We estimate the displacement energy of Lagrangian 3-spheres in a symplectic 6-manifold $X$, by estimating the displacement energy of a one-parameter family $L_{lambda}$ of Lagrangian tori near the sphere. The proof establishes a new version of Lagrangian Floer theory with cylinder corrections, which is motivated by the change of open Gromov-Witten invariants under the conifold transition. We also make observations and computations on the classical Floer theory by using symplectic sum formula and Welschinger invariants.
We construct families of imaginary special Lagrangian cylinders near transverse Maslov index $0$ or $n$ intersection points of positive Lagrangian submanifolds in a general Calabi-Yau manifold. Hence, we obtain geodesics of open positive Lagrangian submanifolds near such intersection points. Moreover, this result is a first step toward the non-perturbative construction of geodesics of closed positive Lagrangian submanifolds. Also, we introduce a method for proving $C^{1,1}$ regularity of geodesics of positive Lagrangians at the non-smooth locus. This method is used to show that $C^{1,1}$ geodesics of positive Lagrangian spheres persist under small perturbations of endpoints, improving the regularity of a previous result of the authors. In particular, we obtain the first examples of $C^{1,1}$ solutions to the positive Lagrangian geodesic equation in arbitrary dimension that are not invariant under isometries. Along the way, we study geodesics of positive Lagrangian linear subspaces in a complex vector space, and prove an a priori existence result in the case of Maslov index $0$ or $n.$ Throughout the paper, the cylindrical transform introduced in previous work of the authors plays a key role.
Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian knots arise in Symplectic Field Theory and impose an interesting and not well-understood relation on Legendrian knots. There are some known elementary building blocks for Lagrangian cobordisms that are smoothly the attachment of $0$- and $1$-handles. An important question is whether every pair of non-empty Legendrians that are related by a connected Lagrangian cobordism can be related by a ribbon Lagrangian cobordism, in particular one that is decomposable into a composition of these elementary building blocks. We will describe these and other combinatorial building blocks as well as some geometric methods, involving the theory of satellites, to construct Lagrangian cobordisms. We will then survey some known results, derived through Heegaard Floer Homology and contact surgery, that may provide a pathway to proving the existence of nondecomposable (nonribbon) Lagrangian cobordisms.
We study a cylindrical Lagrangian cobordism group for Lagrangian torus fibres in symplectic manifolds which are the total spaces of smooth Lagrangian torus fibrations. We use ideas from family Floer theory and tropical geometry to obtain both obstructions to and constructions of cobordisms; in particular, we give examples of symplectic tori in which the cobordism group has no non-trivial cobordism relations between pairwise distinct fibres, and ones in which the degree zero fibre cobordism group is a divisible group. The results are independent of but motivated by mirror symmetry, and a relation to rational equivalence of 0-cycles on the mirror rigid analytic space.
We study configurations of disjoint Lagrangian submanifolds in certain low-dimensional symplectic manifolds from the perspective of the geometry of Hamiltonian maps. We detect infinite-dimensional flats in the Hamiltonian group of the two-sphere equipped with Hofers metric, prove constraints on Lagrangian packing, find instances of Lagrangian Poincar{e} recurrence, and present a new hierarchy of normal subgroups of area-preserving homeomorphisms of the two-sphere. The technology involves Lagrangian spectral invariants with Hamiltonian term in symmetric product orbifolds.
