Fukaya-Yamaguchi conjecture holds in 4D manifolds with nonnegative curvature.

Study of Fukaya category on surfaces with mapping class group action.

Given a J-holomorphic Morse function on a symplectic manifold, a new construction of the Fukaya-Seidel category is outlined. Applying this construction in an infinite dimensional case, a Fukaya-Seidel-type category is associated to a smooth three-manifold. In this case the construction is based on a five-dimensional ga…

We prove that a positive allowable Lefschetz fibration, PALF in short, admits a structure of exact Lefschetz fibration in the sense of Seidel \cite{Se08}. If the two-fold first Chern class of the total space is zero, we obtain the Fukaya-Seidel category. We prove that the derived Fukaya-Seidel category of PALF is indep…

In this paper, using similar idea as in Fukaya-Oh's work ([9]), we devise a method to compute the Fukaya category of certain exact symplectic manifolds by reducing it to the corresponding Morse category of non-Hausdorff manifold as perturbation of the Lagrangian skeleton of the exact symplectic manifold.

The article details Fukaya's A∞-structure of Morse complexes.

We construct the Fukaya category of a closed surface equipped with an area form using only elementary (essentially combinatorial) methods. We also compute the Grothendieck group of its derived category.

New geometric construction of spectral sequences from Khovanov homology.

This paper is a companion to the authors' forthcoming work extending Heegaard Floer theory from closed 3-manifolds to compact 3-manifolds with two boundary components via quilted Floer cohomology. We describe the first interesting case of this theory: the invariants of 3-manifolds bounding S^2 union T^2, regarded as mo…

We prove that the inclusion of every closed exact Lagrangian with vanishing Maslov class in a cotangent bundle is a homotopy equivalence. We start by adapting an idea of Fukaya-Seidel-Smith to prove that such a Lagrangian is equivalent to the zero section in the Fukaya category with integral coefficients. We then study…

Wedge product on deRham complex of a Riemannian manifold $M$ can be pulled back to $H^*(M)$ via explicit homotopy, constructed using Green's operator, to give higher product structures. We prove Fukaya's conjecture which suggests that Witten deformation of these higher product structures have semiclassical limits as op…

In \cite{FOinteger}, Fukaya and Ono outlined a way of counting pseudo-holomorphic curves in a general compact symplectic manifold to obtain integer valued invariants. This paper contains the details of Fukaya and Ono's suggested construction for any compact symplectic manifold and a large class of exploded manifolds.

We prove that the wrapped Fukaya category of any $2n$-dimensional Weinstein manifold (or, more generally, Weinstein sector) $W$ is generated by the unstable manifolds of the index $n$ critical points of its Liouville vector field. Our proof is geometric in nature, relying on a surgery formula for Floer cohomology and t…

Given a symplectic manifold M, we consider a category with objects finite ordered families of Lagrangian submanifolds of M (subject to certain additional constraints) and with morphisms Lagrangian cobordisms relating them. We construct a functor that maps this category to a variant of the derived Fukaya category of M i…

New $A_\infty$ structures derived from equivariant de Rham complex for $S^1$-action.

Let $Ham (M,ω)$ denote the Frechet Lie group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a monotone symplectic manifold $(M, ω)$. Let $NFuk (M, ω)$ be the $A _{\infty}$-nerve of the Fukaya category $Fuk (M, ω)$, and let $(|\mathbb{S}|, NFuk (M, ω))$ denote the $NFuk (M, ω)$ component of the ``space of $\infty$-categories''…

Given a pointed 4-ended tangle $T \subset D^3$, there are two Khovanov theoretic tangle invariants, $\unicode{1044}_1(T)$ from [arXiv:1910.1458] and $L_T$ from [arXiv:1808.06957], which are twisted complexes over the Fukaya category of the boundary 4-punctured sphere $(S^2,4\text{pt})=\partial (D^3, T)$. We prove that …

Survey on decorated marked surfaces for Calabi-Yau categories.

We outline an interpretation of Heegaard-Floer homology of 3-manifolds (closed or with boundary) in terms of the symplectic topology of symmetric products of Riemann surfaces, as suggested by recent work of Tim Perutz and Yanki Lekili. In particular we discuss the connection between the Fukaya category of the symmetric…

We define a torus algebra for Heegaard Floer homology.

We give a generalization of Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for 2-loop Chern--Simons perturbation theory to 3-valent graphs with arbitrary number of loops at least 2. We construct a sequence of invariants of integral homology 3-spheres with values in a space of 3-valent graphs (Jacobi diagrams or Feynman dia…

The main goal of this paper is to discuss a symplectic interpretation of Lipshitz, Ozsvath and Thurston's bordered Heegaard-Floer homology in terms of Fukaya categories of symmetric products and Lagrangian correspondences. More specifically, we give a description of the algebra A(F) which appears in the work of Lipshit…

Constructs a cyclic, filtered, strictly unital curved $A_{\infty}$ category for Lagrangian submanifolds and develops Floer theory.

This is a survey on two closely related subjects. First, we review the study of topological structure of `finite type' components of spaces of Bridgeland's stability conditions on triangulated categories. The key is to understand Happel-Reiten-Smalo tilting as tiling of cells. Second, we review topological realizations…

The paper extends topological field theory to noncompact surfaces using symmetric powers.

In this paper, it is explained that a topological invariant for 3-manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)=1$ can be constructed by applying Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for Chern--Simons perturbation theory to a local system on $M$ of rational functions associated to the free abelian covering of $M$. Our invariant take…

We determine the Fukaya Floer homology of the three-manifold which is the product of a Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$ times the circle. This sets up the groundwork for finding the structure of the Donaldson invariants of four-manifolds not of simple type in the future. We give the following applications: 1) We show…

Let $X$ be a compact real analytic manifold, and let $T^*X$ be its cotangent bundle. Let $Sh(X)$ be the triangulated dg category of bounded, constructible complexes of sheaves on $X$. In this paper, we develop a Fukaya $A_\infty$-category $Fuk(T^*X)$ whose objects are exact, not necessarily compact Lagrangian branes in…

Let $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic vector space which is closed, oriented and spin. Using virtual fundamental chains of moduli spaces of nonconstant pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundaries on $L$, one can define a Maurer-Cartan element of a Lie bracket operation in string topology (the loop bracket) d…

New proof of Heegaard Floer surgery formulas using Fukaya category of the torus.

Geometric interpretation of 3-manifold invariants using immersed curves.

Let $X$ be a compact toric Kähler manifold with $-K_X$ nef. Let $L\subset X$ be a regular fiber of the moment map of the Hamiltonian torus action on $X$. Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono defined open Gromov-Witten (GW) invariants of $X$ as virtual counts of holomorphic discs with Lagrangian boundary condition $L$. We prove a formula…

In this paper, we consider the exact triangles consisting of stable vector bundles on one-dimensional complex tori, and give a geometric interpretation of them in terms of the corresponding Fukaya category via the homological mirror symmetry.

For a diagram of a 2-stranded tangle in the 3-ball we define a twisted complex of compact Lagrangians in the triangulated envelope of the Fukaya category of the smooth locus of the pillowcase. We show that this twisted complex is a functorial invariant of the isotopy class of the tangle, and that it provides a factoriz…
