Lagrangian cobordism and tropical curves

  • Nick Sheridan ORCID logo EMAIL logo and Ivan Smith

Abstract

We study a cylindrical Lagrangian cobordism group for Lagrangian torus fibres in symplectic manifolds which are the total spaces of smooth Lagrangian torus fibrations. We use ideas from family Floer theory and tropical geometry to obtain both obstructions to and constructions of cobordisms; in particular, we give examples of symplectic tori in which the cobordism group has no non-trivial cobordism relations between pairwise distinct fibres, and ones in which the degree zero fibre cobordism group is a divisible group. The results are independent of but motivated by mirror symmetry, and a relation to rational equivalence of 0-cycles on the mirror rigid analytic space.

Theorem 1.3 realizes a suggestion of Paul Seidel, who also suggested considering cylindrical rather than planar cobordism. We are grateful to Mohammed Abouzaid, Denis Auroux, Jeff Hicks, Daniel Huybrechts, Joe Rabinoff, Dhruv Ranganathan, Tony Scholl, Paul Seidel, Harold Williams and Tony Yue Yu for helpful conversations.
