Hamiltonian isotopies in \({\mathbb{R}}_+^{2n}:\) Negative results (Q1122844): Difference between revisions

Let \((M^{2n},\omega)\) be a 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold with non- empty boundary and L a compact Lagrangian submanifold, with \(\partial L=L\pitchfork \partial M\), where \(\pitchfork\) means transversal intersection. For a given (M,\(\omega)\) one is interested to decide the validity of the following extension property (EP): Given any L as above and any Hamiltonian isotopy \(f_ t: \partial L\to \partial M\), \(t\in [0,1]\), with \(f_ t\) nowhere tangent to the characteristic lines, there exists a Hamiltonian isotopy \(F_ t: L\to M\) starting from the inclusion \(f_ 0\). \(N^ n\) being a closed manifold, \(T^*N\) its cotangent bundle endowed with the standard symplectic form, and T a tube in \(T^*N\), is considered the set \(M=T^*N-int T.\) Theorem A. Let N be any closed n-manifold (n\(\geq 2)\). There exists some tube T in \(T^*N\) such that (EP) fails for some data in M. Theorem B. (EP) fails in \(R_+^{2n}\) for some data.
