Around 1988, Floer introduced two important theories: instanton Floer homology as invariants of 3-manifolds and Lagrangian Floer homology as invariants of pairs of Lagrangians in symplectic manifolds. Soon after that, Atiyah conjectured that the two theories should be related to each other and Lagrangian Floer homology of certain Lagrangians in the moduli space of flat connections on Riemann surfaces should recover instanton Floer homology. However, the space of flat connections on a Riemann surface is singular and the first step to address this conjecture is to make sense of Lagrangian Floer homology on this space. In this note, we formulate a possible approach to resolve this issue. A strategy to construct the desired isomorphism in the Atiyah-Floer conjecture is also sketched. We also use the language of A infty-categories to state generalizations of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture.
A version of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture, adapted to admissible SO(3)-bundles, is established.
In this paper, we discuss Floer homology of Lagrangian submanifolds in an open symplectic manifold given as the complement of a smooth divisor. Firstly, a compactification of moduli spaces of holomorphic strips in a smooth divisor complement is introduced. Next, this compactification is used to define Lagrangian Floer homology of two Lagrangians in the divisor complement. The main new feature of this paper is that we do not make any assumption on positivity or negativity of the divisor.
In the first part of the present paper, we study the moduli spaces of holomorphic discs and strips into an open symplectic, isomorphic to the complement of a smooth divisor in a closed symplectic manifold. In particular, we introduce a compactification of this moduli space, which is called the relative Gromov-Witten compactification. The goal of this paper is to show that the RGW compactifications admit Kuranishi structures which are compatible with each other. This result provides the remaining ingredient for the main construction of the first part: Floer homology for monotone Lagrangians in a smooth divisor complement.
We present another view dealing with the Arnold-Givental conjecture on a real symplectic manifold $(M, omega, tau)$ with nonempty and compact real part $L={rm Fix}(tau)$. For given $Lambdain (0, +infty]$ and $minNcup{0}$ we show the equivalence of the following two claims: (i) $sharp(Lcapphi^H_1(L))ge m$ for any Hamiltonian function $Hin C_0^infty([0, 1]times M)$ with Hofers norm $|H|<Lambda$; (ii) $sharp {cal P}(H,tau)ge m$ for every $Hin C^infty_0(R/Ztimes M)$ satisfying $H(t,x)=H(-t,tau(x));forall (t,x)inmathbb{R}times M$ and with Hofers norm $|H|<2Lambda$, where ${cal P}(H, tau)$ is the set of all $1$-periodic solutions of $dot{x}(t)=X_{H}(t,x(t))$ satisfying $x(-t)=tau(x(t));forall tinR$ (which are also called brake orbits sometimes). Suppose that $(M, omega)$ is geometrical bounded for some $Jin{cal J}(M,omega)$ with $tau^ast J=-J$ and has a rationality index $r_omega>0$ or $r_omega=+infty$. Using Hofers method we prove that if the Hamiltonian $H$ in (ii) above has Hofers norm $|H|<r_omega$ then $sharp(Lcapphi^H_1(L))gesharp {cal P}_0(H,tau)ge {rm Cuplength}_{F}(L)$ for $F=Z_2$, and further for $F=Z$ if $L$ is orientable, where ${cal P}_0(H,tau)$ consists of all contractible solutions in ${cal P}(H,tau)$.
We correct a mistake regarding almost complex structures on Hilbert schemes of points in surfaces in arXiv:1510.02449. The error does not affect the main results of the paper, and only affects the proofs of invariance of equivariant symplectic Khovanov homology and reduced symplectic Khovanov homology. We give an alternate proof of the invariance of equivariant symplectic Khovanov homology.
