Abstract: The obstruction to construct a Lagrangian bundle over a fixed integral affine manifold was constructed by Dazord and Delzant in cite{daz_delz} and shown to be given by `twisted' cup products in cite{sepe_lag}. This paper uses the topology of universal Lagrangian bundles, which classify Lagrangian bundles topologically (cf. cite{sepe_topc}), to reinterpret this obstruction as the vanishing of a differential on the second page of a Leray-Serre spectral sequence. Using this interpretation, it is shown that the obstruction of Dazord and Delzant depends on an important cohomological invariant of the integral affine structure on the base space, called the radiance obstruction, which was introduced by Goldman and Hirsch in cite{goldman}. Some examples, related to non-degenerate singularities of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems, are discussed.


Lagrangian fiber bundles \(F\hookrightarrow (M,\omega)\to B\) are \(2n\)-dimensional symplectic manifolds where the fibers are Lagrangian submanifolds, i.e., \(\omega\) restricted to \(F\) is zero and \(\dim F=n\). Liouville, Mineur and Arnol'd provided a semi-global symplectic classification of Lagrangian bundles. Markus, Meyer and Duistermaat showed that the fibers and base space of a Lagrangian bundle are natural integral affine manifolds (admitting an atlas with changes of coordinates that can be extended to affine transformations of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) that preserve the \(\mathbb{R}^n/\mathbb{Z}^n\) lattices). Dazord and Delzant showed that the obstruction function to construction of a Lagranian bundle over a fixed integral affine manifold is a cohomological obstruction to the existence of an appropriate symplectic structure on the total space. In this paper, the author reinterprets this obstruction as the vanishing of a differential in a Leray-Serre spectral sequence. In the process, the author identifies the obstruction as a cohomological invariant of the integral affine structure of the base space known as the radiant obstruction, previously studied by Goldman and Hirsch.
