Hamiltonian non-displaceability of Gauss images of isoparametric hypersurfaces (Q2830653)

It is well known (see a.o. the work of Palmer and several previous works of Ma and Ohnita), that the Gauss image of an isoparametric hypersurface in the sphere is a Lagrangian submanifold of the complex hyperquadric.NEWLINENEWLINEIn this paper, the authors study the Hamiltonian non-displaceability of the corresponding Lagrangian submanifold. Note that a Lagrangian submanifold is called non-displaceable if \(L \cap \varphi(L) \neq \emptyset\) for any map \(\phi\) which is a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of the complex hyperquadric.NEWLINENEWLINEExcept in a few exceptional cases, which remain open, the authors show that the Gauss map associated with a compact oriented isoparametric hypersurface is indeed a non-displaceable Lagrangian submanifold.NEWLINENEWLINEThis result gives some support to the conjecture of the authors and H. Ono which states the following: Any compact connected minimal Lagrangian submanifold in an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type is Hamiltonian non-displaceable.
