exercise 0.0.1
Let \(X\) be a compact symplectic manifold. Recall that a 3-ended Lagrangian cobordism \(K: (L_0, L_1)\rightsquigarrow L_2\) is a closed Lagrangian submanifold \(K\subset X\times \CC\) with the property that there exists a compact subset \(U\subset \CC\) so that \[K|_{\pi_\CC^{-1}(\CC\setminus U)}=((L_0\times \RR_{>0})\cup( L_1\times (\sqrt{-1}+\RR_{>0}) )\cup( L_2\times (\RR_{<0})))|_{\pi_\CC^{-1}(\CC\setminus U)}.\] Suppose that \(X\) is an exact symplectic manifold, which in turn makes \(X\times \CC\) an exact symplectic manifold. Let \(K\) be an exact 3-ended Lagrangian cobordism.- Show that \(L_0, L_1\) and \(L_2\) are exact Lagrangian submanifolds in \(X\).
- Consider the curve \(\gamma^-\subset \CC\). Show that for any exact Lagrangian submanifold \(L\subset X\), \(\CF(L\times \gamma^-, K)=\CF(L, L_0)\) as a vector space.
- Give \(X\times \CC\) an almost complex structure of the form \(J_X\times J_\CC\). Suppose that we have a finite energy pseudoholomorphic strip \(u: \RR\times [0, 1]\to X\times \CC\) with \(u(t, 0)\in L\times \gamma^-\) and \(u(t, 1)\in K\), and ends limiting to intersections of \(L\times \gamma^-\cap K\). Show that \(\pi_\CC(u)\in \text{Im}(\gamma^-)\cap \RR_{<0}\) (the location of the red cross in the figure). From this, conclude that if \(J_X\) is chosen so that all pseudoholomorphic strips with boundary on \(L, L_2\) are regular, that \(\CF(L\times \gamma^-, K) = \CF(L_2, K)\) as chain complexes.
- Consider now the curve \(\gamma^+\subset \CC\). Using a similar argument, one can prove that there are no pseudoholomorphic strips \(u:\RR\times [0, 1]\to X\times \CC\) with \(\lim_{t\to\infty} u(s, t)=z_2\) and \(\lim_{t\to-\infty} u(s, t)=z_0\). What can you conclude about the relationship between \(\CF(L\times \gamma^+, K)\), \(\CF(L, L_0)\) and \(\CF(L, L_1)\)?
- Observe that \(L\times \gamma^-\) and \(L\times \gamma^+\) are Hamiltonian isotopic. Exhibit a long exact sequence whose terms are \(\HF(L, L_0), \HF(L, L_1)\) and \(\HF(L, L_2)\).
