The homotopy-theoretic Nearby Lagrangian conjecture

Let NN and LL be closed, simply connected manifolds of the same dimension. The cotangent bundle TNT^*N carries its natural symplectic structure, and consider the space of Lagrangian embeddings of LL into TNT^*N. Homotopy-theoretic Nearby Lagrangian conjecture. The space of Lagrangian embeddings of LL in TNT^*N is contractible if LL is diffeomorphic to NN, and is empty otherwise. This is a weaker homotopy-theoretic version of Arnold's Nearby Lagrangian conjecture, which concerns Lagrangian submanifolds of cotangent bundles and remains open. The conjecture is motivated by recent homotopy-theoretic and Floer-theoretic results.
