Microlocal branes are constructible sheaves

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let X be a real analytic manifold, and let TX be its cotangent bundle. In a recent paper with E. Zaslow cite{NZ}, we showed that the dg category Shc(X) of constructible sheaves on X quasi-embeds into the triangulated envelope F(TX) of the Fukaya category of TX. We prove here that the quasi-embedding is in fact a quasi-equivalence. When X is complex, one may interpret this as a topological analogue of the identification of Lagrangian branes in TX and holonomic DX-modules developed by Kapustin and Kapustin-Witten from a physical perspective. As a concrete application, we show that compact connected exact Lagrangians in TX (with some modest homological assumptions) are equivalent in the Fukaya category to the zero section. In particular, this determines their (complex) cohomology ring and homology class in TX, and provides a homological bound on their number of intersection points. An independent characterization of compact branes in TX has recently been obtained by Fukaya-Seidel-Smith.
