U(1)-invariant special Lagrangian 3-folds. III: Properties of singular solutions (Q1771029): Difference between revisions

This is the last of three papers of the author [Adv. Math. 192, No. 1, 35--71, 72--134 (2005; Zbl 1078.53046, Zbl 1079.53076)] studying special Lagrangian 3-submanifolds (SL 3-folds) \(N\) in \({\mathbb C}^3\) invariant under the U(1)-action \(e^{i\theta}:(z_1,z_2,z_3)\to(e^{i\theta}z_1, e^{-i\theta}z_2, z_3)\), using analytic methods. If \(N\) is such a 3-fold then \({| z_1|}^2- {| z_2|}^2=2a\) on \(N\) for some \(a\in {\mathbb R}\). Locally, \(N\) can be written as a kind of graph of functions \(u, v:{\mathbb R}^2\to{\mathbb R}\) satisfying a {nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equation} depending on \(a\), so that \(u+iv \) is like a holomorphic function of \(x+iy\). When \(a\) is nonzero, \(u, v\) are always smooth and \(N\) is nonsingular. This case has been studied by the author in the first paper. The case when \(a=0\) has been studied in the second paper giving existence and uniqueness of many singular U(1)-invariant SL 3-folds in \({\mathbb C}^3\), with boundary conditions. In this third paper the author studies the singularities of these SL 3-folds. He shows that under mild conditions the singularities are isolated, and have a multiplicity \(n>0\), and one of two {types}. Examples are constructed with every multiplicity and type. Also, the existence of large families of U(1)-invariant special Lagrangian fibrations of open sets in \({\mathbb C}^3\), including singular fibres is proved.
