The author introduces the Floer theory of Lagrangian intersections as the major tool in symplectic topology and attempts to incorporate different approaches to symplectic topology (Eliashberg's wave front theory, Hofer's geometry and Viterbo's techniques of generating functions). The existence of a graph part in the wave front was observed by Sikorav in the theory of generating functions. Furthermore, the author also shows the ``canonical choice'' of such a graph. Moreover, he proves that for the cotangent bundle, Hofer's distance between Lagrangian submanifolds (Hamiltonian isotopic to each other) is nondegenerate. The author, in a footnote, adds that recently Yu. V. Chekanov (in a preprint entitled ``Hofer's symplectic energy and invariant metrics on the space of Lagrangian embeddings'') proved the same nondegeneracy for arbitrary compact Lagrangian submanifolds in tame symplectic manifolds.
