Title: Persistence of unknottedness of clean Lagrangian intersections
Speaker: Johan Asplund, Stony Brook University
Location: Math P-131
Abstract:
Let L and K be two Lagrangian spheres in a six dimensional compact symplectic manifold that intersect cleanly along a circle. Assuming that the clean intersection is an unknot in both L and K, we will explain how the clean intersection must remain unknotted after any Hamiltonian isotopy of L and K that is supported near their union. This is based on joint work with Yin Li.
