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 OO+subsetOO. As a prerequisite, we define a Riemannian metric on OO+ 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.
