proposition 0.0.1 [Pol91]
Let \(L_1, L_2\subset X\) be two Lagrangian submanifolds intersecting transversely at a single point \(p\). Then there exists a Lagrangian submanifold \(L_1\#_p L_2\subset X\) which- topologically is the connect sum of \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) at \(p\).
- Agrees with \(L_1\cup L_2\) outside of a small neighborhood of \(p\) in the sense that \[L_1\#_p L_2|_{X\setminus U}=L_2\cup L_2|_{X\setminus U}.\]
