Abstract: Let $OO$ be an orbit of the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms acting on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(X,omega).$ We define a functional $CC:OOoR$ for each differential form $$ of middle degree satisfying $$ and an exactness condition. If the exactness condition does not hold, $CC$ is defined on the universal cover of $OO.$ A particular instance of $CC$ recovers the Calabi homomorphism. If $$ is the imaginary part of a holomorphic volume form, the critical points of $CC$ are special Lagrangian submanifolds. We present evidence that $CC$ is related by mirror symmetry to a functional introduced by Donaldson to study Einstein-Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles. In particular, we show that $CC$ is convex on an open subspace $O{O}^{+}subsetOO.$ As a prerequisite, we define a Riemannian metric on $O{O}^{+}$ and analyze its geodesics. Finally, we discuss a generalization of the flux homomorphism to the space of Lagrangian submanifolds, and a Lagrangian analog of the flux conjecture.
