Abstract: Given a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ of the affine symplectic $2n$-space, one can canonically and uniquely define a center-chord and a special improper affine sphere of dimension $2n$, both of whose sets of singularities contain $L$. Although these improper affine spheres (IAS) always present other singularities away from $L$ (the off-shell singularities studied in our previous paper), they may also present singularities other than $L$ which are arbitrarily close to $L$, the so called singularities "on shell". These on-shell singularities possess a hidden $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry that is absent from the off-shell singularities. In this paper, we study these canonical IAS obtained from $L$ and their on-shell singularities, in arbitrary even dimensions, and classify all stable Lagrangian/Legendrian singularities on shell that may occur for these IAS when $L$ is a curve or a Lagrangian surface.

Given a Lagrangian submanifold \(L\) of the affine symplectic \(2n\)-space, one can canonically and uniquely define a center-chord and a special improper affine sphere of dimension \(2n\), both of whose sets of singularities contain \(L\). Although these improper affine spheres (IAS) always present other singularities away from \(L\), called the off-shell singularities, they may also present singularities other than \(L\) which are arbitrarily close to \(L\), the so-called singularities ``on shell. These on-shell singularities possess a hidden \(\mathbb Z_2\) symmetry that is absent from the off-shell singularities. In this paper, the authors study these canonical IAS obtained from \(L\) and their on-shell singularities, in arbitrary even dimensions, and classify all stable Lagrangian/Legendrian singularities on shell that may occur for these IAS when \(L\) is a curve or a Lagrangian surface.
