We show that immersed Lagrangian Floer cohomology in compact rational symplectic manifolds is invariant under Maslov flows such as coupled mean curvature/Kaehler-Ricci flow in the sense of Smoczyk as a pair of self-intersection points is born or dies at a self-tangency, using results of Ekholm-Etnyre-Sullivan. This proves part of a conjecture of Joyce. We give a lower bound on the time for which the Floer cohomology is invariant under the (forward or backwards) flow, if it exists.
We show that cellular Floer cohomology of an immersed Lagrangian brane is invariant under smoothing of a self-intersection point if the quantum valuation of the weakly bounding cochain vanishes and the Lagrangian has dimension at least two. The chain-level map replaces the two orderings of the self-intersection point with meridianal and longitudinal cells on the handle created by the surgery, and uses a bijection between holomorphic disks developed by Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono. Our result generalizes invariance of potentials for certain Lagrangian surfaces in Dimitroglou-Rizell--Ekholm--Tonkonog, and implies the invariance of Floer cohomology under mean curvature flow with this type of surgery, as conjectured by Joyce.
We construct geometric maps from the cyclic homology groups of the (compact or wrapped) Fukaya category to the corresponding $S^1$-equivariant (Floer/quantum or symplectic) cohomology groups, which are natural with respect to all Gysin and periodicity exact sequences and are isomorphisms whenever the (non-equivariant) open-closed map is. These {em cyclic open-closed maps} give (a) constructions of geometric smooth and/or proper Calabi-Yau structures on Fukaya categories (which in the proper case implies the Fukaya category has a cyclic A-infinity model in characteristic 0) and (b) a purely symplectic proof of the non-commutative Hodge-de Rham degeneration conjecture for smooth and proper subcategories of Fukaya categories of compact symplectic manifolds. Further applications of cyclic open-closed maps, to counting curves in mirror symmetry and to comparing topological field theories, are the subject of joint projects with Perutz-Sheridan [GPS1, GPS2] and Cohen [CG].
We use quilted Floer theory to construct functor-valued invariants of tangles arising from moduli spaces of flat bundles on punctured surfaces. As an application, we show the non-triviality of certain elements in the symplectic mapping class groups of moduli spaces of flat bundles on punctured spheres.
We introduce a notion of vanishing Maslov index for lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian integral cycles in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We construct mass-decreasing flows of lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian cycles which satisfy this condition. The flow of cycles converges, at infinite time, to a sum of special lagrangian cycles (possibly with differing phases). We use the flow of cycles to obtain the fact that special lagrangian cycles generate the part of the lagrangian homology which lies in the image of the Hurewicz homomorphism. We also establish a weak version of a conjecture of Thomas-Yau regarding lagrangian mean curvature flow.
In this paper, we write down a special Heegaard diagram for a given product three manifold $Sigma_gtimes S^1$. We use the diagram to compute its perturbed Heegaard Floer homology.
