Does this pseudo-holomorphic triangle contribute to the product $\mu_2$ in Lagrangian Floer cohomology?

I'm computing the product map $$\mu_2 : CF(L_0,V)\otimes CF(V,L_1)\to CF(L_0,L_1)$$ in Seidel's exact triangle for this specific case: This is a genus 2 surface, and I color-coded the three (...

Structure maps of $\mathcal{A}_\infty$-bimodules

For Fukaya categories there are functors naturally induced by symplectomorphisms. Twisted versions of symplectic homology (fixed point Floer homology), open-closed maps and bimodules can be defined. ...

Bridgeland stability to Fukaya stability on elliptic curve; geometric proof of no slope decreasing homs

For a bridgeland stability condition $(P,Z)$ on $\mathcal{C}$ and $a > b$ we know that $Hom^0(A,B)=0$ for $A,B \in P(a), P(b)$ respectively. I would like to see the geometric incarnation of this ...

Seidel's calculation of the Floer cohomology of a cotangent fibre and its Dehn twist

I am reading Seidel's paper on exact Lagrangian submanifolds in $T^*S^n$ and the graded Kronecker quiver, and in Lemma 2 (2) he claims the following fact: if $F_0$ is a cotangent fibre and $F_1$ is $\...
