Special Lagrangians, stable bundles and mean curvature flow (Q1811415)

Let \(X\) be a Calabi-Yau manifold with a holomorphic \((n,0)\)-form \(\Omega\). In \textit{R. P. Thomas} [Moment maps, monodromy and mirror manifolds, Symplectic geometry and mirror symmetry (Seoul, 2000), Singapore: World Scientific, 467--498 (2001; Zbl 1076.14525)] it was conjectured that the stability condition for \(L\) is equivalent to the existence of a special Lagrangian (SLag) in the Hamiltonian deformation class of a fixed Lagrangian. In the paper under review the authors expand on this conjecture and relate it to mean curvature flow. The conjecture is that if \(\phi(L)=0\) and \([\phi(L_1),\phi(L_2)] \not\subseteq (\inf_L \theta, \sup_L\theta)\) for all graded connected sums \(L_1 \# L_2 = L\) (these sums are described in the paper), where \(\phi\) is the cohomological phase, then the mean curvature flow for \(L\) exists for all time and converges to a special Lagrangian in its deformation class. This conjecture is proved in some cases with symmetry: mean curvature flow converging to Shapere-Vafa's examples of SLags.
