The homotopy-theoretic Nearby Lagrangian conjecture
The homotopy-theoretic Nearby Lagrangian conjecture
Let and be closed, simply connected manifolds of the same dimension. The cotangent bundle carries its natural symplectic structure, and consider the space of Lagrangian embeddings of into . Homotopy-theoretic Nearby Lagrangian conjecture. The space of Lagrangian embeddings of in is contractible if is diffeomorphic to , 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.
