Hamiltonian perturbation data on the pair of pants #
The pair-of-pants product of Hamiltonian Floer theory counts solutions of the perturbed
Cauchy–Riemann equation (du - X_K)^{0,1} = 0 on the thrice-punctured sphere
S = ℂ ∖ {0, 1}, with positive (input) cylindrical ends at 0 and 1 and a negative (output)
cylindrical end at ∞. The perturbation is a one-form K on S with values in smooth functions
on the target manifold M, which must equal H_q(t) dt in the end coordinates (s, t) of each
end q far out on the end, where H_q is the period-one Hamiltonian attached to that end.
This file constructs such a perturbation from any three smooth period-one Hamiltonians,
TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation: on the end q it is β(±s) H_q(t) dt for a smooth
cutoff β vanishing for ±s ≤ 1 and equal to 1 for ±s ≥ 2, and it vanishes off the three
ends. Its value at w is a real covector on ℂ, so the ds and dt components of its pullback
along an end lift φ are its values on φ'(z) and φ'(z) i. The results are:
TauCeti.Floer.contMDiffAt_pairOfPantsPerturbation: the perturbation is smooth onS × M.TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_add: the perturbation is additive in the end Hamiltonians.TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_add_const: adding functionsc_qof time to the end Hamiltonians adds the perturbation of the target-independent Hamiltoniansc_q, which does not depend on the target point (TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_const_target).TauCeti.Floer.contDiffAt_pairOfPantsPerturbation_prod: for a vector space target andCⁿHamiltonians, the perturbation isCⁿjointly in the domain and target points.TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_cylindricalEndLift_of_pos: on the part±s > 0of the endqits pullback is the continuation datumβ(±s - 1) H_q(t) dt.TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_cylindricalEndLift: on the part±s ≥ 2of the endqits pullback isH_q(t) dt, that isK_s = 0andK_t = H_q(t).TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_eq_smul_endAngularForm: on the part±s ≥ 2of the endqthe perturbation itself isH_q(t) dt_q, in terms of the angular form of the end.TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsEndComponent H q v: the component of the pullback along the tangent vectorvof the cylinder, in the end coordinates of the endq, so thatK_sandK_tare its components alongv = 1andv = i;TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsEndComponent_of_poscomputes them on the part±s > 0of the end, andTauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsEndComponent_I_of_two_legivesK_t = H_q(t)where±s ≥ 2.TauCeti.Floer.exists_cylindricalEndLift_of_pairOfPantsPerturbation_ne_zero: it is supported in the parts±s > 1of the three ends, so it vanishes off the ends;TauCeti.Floer.pairOfPantsPerturbation_eq_zero_of_forall_lestates this in end coordinates.
The angular coordinate t of an end is defined only modulo 1, which is why the Hamiltonians are
required to have period one: smoothness across the ray where the angular coordinate jumps is

The Hamiltonian perturbation one-form on the pair of pants given by period-one Hamiltonians
H q on its three ends. At w ∈ ℂ and x ∈ M it is the covector
∑ q, β(±s_q(w)) H_q(t_q(w), x) dt_q, where (s_q, t_q) are the coordinates of the end q,
the sign is that of the end, and β is the smooth transition from 0 on (-∞, 1] to 1 on
[2, ∞).
Instances For
The defining equation of the perturbation: the cutoff-weighted sum over the three ends of
H_q(t_q(w), x) dt_q.
The pair-of-pants perturbation is additive in the end Hamiltonians.
Normalizing the end Hamiltonians. Adding functions c_q of time to the end Hamiltonians
adds the pair-of-pants perturbation of the target-independent Hamiltonians c_q.
The pair-of-pants perturbation of target-independent Hamiltonians does not depend on the target point.
Where the cutoff of the end q is nonzero, the point lies on the part ±s > 1 of that end,
and in particular it is not the center of the end.
The perturbation is supported in the parts ±s > 1 of the three ends.
The perturbation vanishes at every point where the signed longitudinal coordinate of every
end is at most 1.
The pair-of-pants datum of a single end is the summand of that end.
The perturbation vanishes at the center of every end. The centers are the punctures 0 and
1, where every signed longitudinal coordinate is at most 0.
On the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the cutoff of every other end r vanishes, since the
parts ±s > 0 of distinct ends are disjoint.
The perturbation on an end. On the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the pullback of the
perturbation along the end lift φ is the continuation datum β(±s - 1) H_q(t) dt: it sends a
tangent vector v of the cylinder to Im v · β(±s - 1) H_q(t).
The perturbation is H_q(t) dt far out on each end. On the part ±s ≥ 2 of the end q,
the pullback of the perturbation along the end lift φ sends a tangent vector v of the
cylinder to Im v · H_q(t): its ds component (v = 1) vanishes and its dt component
(v = i) is H_q(t).
The perturbation is H_r(t_r) dt_r far out on each end. At a point w of the part
±s ≥ 2 of the end r, the perturbation is the angular form of r scaled by the Hamiltonian
H_r at the angular coordinate of w.
The component of the pair-of-pants perturbation along the tangent vector v of the cylinder,
in the end coordinates z = (s, t) of the end q: the pullback of the perturbation along the end
lift φ, evaluated at the point s + i t on v. The components K_s and K_t of the pulled-back
datum K_s ds + K_t dt are those along v = 1 and v = i.
Instances For
On the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the component of the perturbation along v is
Im v · β(±s - 1) H_q(t).
On the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the ds component of the perturbation vanishes.
On the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the dt component of the perturbation is
β(±s - 1) H_q(t).
On the part ±s ≥ 2 of the end q, where the cutoff is 1, the dt component of the
perturbation is H_q(t).
Near a point of the part ±s > 0 of the end q, the components of the perturbation are those
of the continuation datum β(±s - 1) H_q(t) dt.
Away from the center of the end q, the shifted cutoff β(±s_q - c) is C^n along a C^n
family f of points of ℂ.
Away from the center of the end q, the shifted cutoff β(±s_q - c) is C^n as a function
on ℂ × M which ignores the point of M.
The perturbation is smooth. For Hamiltonians of period one which are C^n on ℝ × M,
the perturbation is C^n on S × M, where S = ℂ ∖ {0, 1} is the thrice-punctured sphere.
The perturbation is Cⁿ jointly in the domain point of S and the target point, for
Cⁿ Hamiltonians.
