Does Fukaya see all symplectic topology?

First of all, the Vianna tori are distinguished by the Fukaya category. To get an object of the category, you need to pick a torus and a rank 1 local system on it. The set of local systems making the …

When do you go hunting for Lagrangian submanifolds?

One goes hunting for Lagrangian submanifolds if one is interested in defining gauge theoretic 3-manifold invariants by cutting along a Heegaard surface. Lagrangian submanifolds arise in gauge theory …

When do you go hunting for Lagrangian submanifolds?

Another place where Lagrangian submanifolds arise naturally is in cotangent bundles. If $M\subset N$ is a submanifold then you can define the conormal bundle of $M$ to be the set of covectors which an …

Could this be a Hamiltonian symplectomorphism on a symplectic toric manifold

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. The spheres living over the edges generate the second homology, so you can read off the action on $H_2$ from that. For $S^2\times S^2$ (square) the action on homol …

How not to use J-holomorphic curves

One classic thing to do is to take a sequence of holomorphic curves with a tangency condition and assume that the tangency condition still holds in the limit: if the limit is a multiple cover with a b …

Two Lagrangian submanifolds with clean intersections

There is a spectral sequence from the cohomology of the intersection to the Floer cohomology. This is explained (and used) in Seidel's paper "Lagrangian 2-spheres can be symplectically knotted" https …

Lagrangian torus fibrations and Arnol'd-Liouville theorem

By the time I finished writing this answer someone has explained the whole idea in a comment, but I thought I'd post it anyway as there is some more detail here. I assume the version of Arnold-Liouvil …

Reference Request: "Neck Stretching Procedure" (In Symplectic Field Theory)

Neck-stretching is a deformation of an almost complex structure in a neighbourhood of a hypersurface. In the Eliashberg-Givental-Hofer paper, neck-stretching is called "splitting along a contact subma …

Contactomorphisms have in general no fixed points

Here's a complement to Dmitri's excellent answer. While it's true that contactomorphisms can have fixed points, even for some open set of contactomorphisms, there is a reason you don't expect to be ab …

Cotangent bundles of surfaces as varieties

This is not possible. There is something called the growth rate of symplectic cohomology which is subexponential for affine varieties and exponential for cotangent bundles of higher genus surfaces (am …

Lagrangian Kleinian bottles

Just to explicitly answer the first part of your question, the original version of Nemirovski's first paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0106122v1) surveys what is known about the other surfaces. Namel …

Lagrangian intersection Floer homology: understanding some assumptions

When you try and prove that $d^2=0$ ($d$ being the Floer differential) you need to look at the boundary of the moduli space of index 2 J-holomorphic strips with one boundary on $L_0$, one on $L_1$. Ce …

Question on Gromov-Witten invariants when $A=0$

In this case, the J-holomorphic curves are all constant, so the evaluation pseudocycle is the tridiagonal $\{(x,x,x) : x\in M\}$. You take cycles $A_1,A_2,A_3$ Poincare dual to $a_1,a_2,a_3$ respectiv …
