We prove that (under appropriate orientation conditions, depending on R) a Hamiltonian isotopy ψ 1 of a symplectic manifold (M, ω) fixing a relatively exact Lagrangian L setwise must act trivially on R * (L), where R * is some generalised homology theory. We use a strategy inspired by that of Hu, Lalonde and Leclercq ([HLL11]), who proved an analogous result over Z/2 and over Z under stronger orientation assumptions. However the differences in our approaches let us deduce that if L is a homotopy sphere, ψ 1 |L is homotopic to the identity. Our technical set-up differs from both theirs and that of Cohen, Jones and Segal ([CJS95,Coh09]).We also prove (under similar conditions) that ψ 1 |L acts trivially on R * (LL), where LL is the free loop space of L. From this we deduce that when L is a surface or a K(π, 1), ψ 1 |L is homotopic to the identity.Using methods of [LM03], we also show that given a family of Lagrangians all of which are Hamiltonian isotopic to L over a sphere or a torus, the associated fibre bundle cohomologically splits over Z/2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
