Exact Lagrangian maps #
Let σ be a nondegenerate two-form on M with a chosen primitive one-form θ, σ = -dθ, so
that (M, σ, θ) is an exact symplectic manifold. A Lagrangian map f : N → M is exact, with
primitive h : N → ℝ, when h is smooth and f^*θ = dh
(TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.IsNondegenerate.IsExactLagrangianMap). The primitive is part of the
data: in Floer theory it is the function from which actions of intersection points are computed.
The predicate applies to embedded and immersed Lagrangians alike, through any parametrization.
The main facts are:
- Exactness forces isotropy. If
σ = -dθandf^*θ = dhfor a smoothf, thenf^*σ = -d(dh) = 0, sofis isotropic. Hence a smooth map with injective differentials from a manifold of half the dimension is an exact Lagrangian map exactly whenf^*θis the differential of a smooth function (TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.IsNondegenerate.isExactLagrangianMap_iff_of_finrank). - Uniqueness of primitives. Two primitives of the same exact Lagrangian map differ by a
locally constant function, and every such modification is again a primitive
(

A map f : N → M is an exact Lagrangian map for the nondegenerate two-form σ and the
one-form θ, with primitive h : N → ℝ, when it is a Lagrangian map, h is smooth, and
f pulls θ back to dh. It is meant for a primitive θ of σ, σ = -dθ; for such a θ
the isotropy of f follows from f^*θ = dh
(TauCeti.SmoothTwoForm.IsNondegenerate.isIsotropicMap_of_mpullback_eq_mextDeriv).

The primitive of an exact Lagrangian map is smooth.
An exact Lagrangian map pulls the one-form back to the differential of its primitive.
Instances For
An exact Lagrangian map is a Lagrangian map with a smooth primitive h of the pulled-back
one-form, f^*θ = dh.
Exactness forces isotropy #
Exact maps are isotropic. If σ = -dθ and a smooth map f pulls θ back to the
differential of a C² function h, then f^*σ = -d(dh) = 0, so f is isotropic for σ.
Exact Lagrangian maps from half-dimensional manifolds. For a primitive θ of σ, a
smooth map with injective differentials from a manifold of half the dimension is an exact
Lagrangian map with primitive h exactly when h is smooth and f^*θ = dh.
Uniqueness of primitives #
Primitives are unique up to locally constant functions. Given an exact Lagrangian map with
primitive h, a function h' is another primitive exactly when h' - h is locally constant.
Adding a constant to the primitive of an exact Lagrangian map gives another primitive.
Primitives differ by a constant on a connected source. Two primitives of the same exact Lagrangian map from a preconnected manifold differ by a constant.
Change of primitive one-form #
Changing the primitive one-form by an exact form. If θ' = θ + dg for a smooth function
g on M, then a smooth map f is an exact Lagrangian map for θ' with primitive h + g ∘ f
exactly when it is one for θ with primitive h.
Transport by exact symplectomorphisms #
A symplectomorphism ψ with ψ^*σ₂ = σ carries exact Lagrangian maps for θ to exact
Lagrangian maps for θ₂, with the same primitive, when it pulls θ₂ back to θ.
Transport by exact symplectomorphisms. Let ψ : M → M₂ be a diffeomorphism with
ψ^*σ₂ = σ and ψ^*θ₂ = θ + dg for a smooth function g on M. Then ψ ∘ f is an exact
Lagrangian map for θ₂ with primitive h + g ∘ f exactly when f is an exact Lagrangian map for
θ with primitive h.
