Monotone Lagrangian Floer theory in smooth divisor complements: I

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.
