## TL;DR

This paper explores the relationship between equivariant embeddings into Anti-de Sitter space and Lagrangian submanifolds in a symplectic product space, revealing a correspondence via the Gauss map and Hamiltonian isotopy.

## Contribution

It establishes a link between equivariant embeddings and Lagrangian submanifolds Hamiltonian isotopic to a minimal one, expanding understanding of geometric structures in Anti-de Sitter space.

## Key findings

- Gauss map of any equivariant embedding is Hamiltonian isotopic to the minimal Lagrangian
- Every Lagrangian isotopic to the minimal one corresponds to an equivariant embedding
- The work connects Anti-de Sitter geometry with symplectic and Lagrangian geometry

## Abstract

Given two Fuchsian representations $\rho_l$ and $\rho_r$ of the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface $S$ of genus $\geq 2$, we study the relation between Lagrangian submanifolds of $M_\rho=(\mathbb{H}^2/\rho_l(\pi_1(S)))\times (\mathbb{H}^2/\rho_r(\pi_1(S)))$ and $\rho$-equivariant embeddings $\sigma$ of $\widetilde S$ into Anti-de Sitter space, where $\rho=(\rho_l,\rho_r)$ is the corresponding representation into $\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbb R\times \mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbb R$. It is known that, if $\sigma$ is a maximal embedding, then its Gauss map takes values in the unique minimal Lagrangian submanifold $\Lambda_{\mathrm{ML}}$ of $M_\rho$.   We show that, given any $\rho$-equivariant embedding $\sigma$, its Gauss map gives a Lagrangian submanifold Hamiltonian isotopic to $\Lambda_{\mathrm{ML}}$. Conversely, any Lagrangian submanifold Hamiltonian isotopic to $\Lambda_{\mathrm{ML}}$ is associated to some equivariant embedding into the future unit tangent bundle of the universal cover of Anti-de Sitter space.
