Families of monotone symplectic manifolds constructed via symplectic cut and their Lagrangian submanifolds (Q640315)

A symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\) is said to be monotone if there exists \(K > 0\) such that, for any sphere \(w : \mathbb{S}^2 \to M\), \(\int w^*\omega = K c_1(M)([w])\), where \(c_1\) is the first Chern class [see \textit{Y.-G. Oh}, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 46, No.~7, 995--1012 (1993; Zbl 0795.58020)]. Let \(V\) be a closed manifold endowed with a free circle action, this action induces a Hamiltonian action on the cotangent bundle \(T^* V\). Let \(H\) be the associated Hamiltonian, \(W_\xi\) the symplectic manifold obtained by symplectic cut of \(T^* V\) at the level \(\xi\) (see [\textit{E. Lerman}, Math. Res. Lett. 2, No.~3, 247--258 (1995; Zbl 0835.53034)]) and \(Q_\xi = H^{-1}(\xi)/\mathbb{S}^1\). The author finds properties of \(W_\xi\), especially that \(W_\xi\) is a complex line bundle over \(Q_\xi\) and, for the symplectic structure \(\omega_\xi\) of \(W_\xi\), \([\omega_\xi] = - 2\pi \xi c_1(W_\xi)\). Therefore, \(W_\xi\) is monotone for \(\xi < 0\). The main result is that \(V\) can be embedded as a monotone Lagrangian submanifold of \(W_\xi\) for any \(\xi < 0\), and, as a corollary, that any exact compact Lagrangian submanifold of \(T^* V\) with vanishing Maslov class can be embedded as a monotone Lagrangian submanifold of \(W_\xi\) for some \(\xi < 0\). Also, the author gives an obstruction result on the embedding of a compact simply connected manifold as a monotone Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic cut and results on the index of the fundamental group of an exact compact Lagrangian submanifold with vanishing Maslov class in the cotangent bundle of a manifold endowed with a free circle action.
