Abstract
In recent papers, summarized in survey [1], we construct a number of examples of non standard lagrangian tori on compact toric varieties and as well on certain non toric varieties which admit pseudotoric structures. Using this pseudotoric technique we explain how non standard lagrangian tori of Chekanov type can be constructed and what is the topological difference between standard Liouville tori and the non standard ones. However we have not discussed the natural question about the periods of the constructed twist tori; in particular the monotonicity problem for the monotonic case was not studied there. In the paper we present several remarks on these questions, in particular we show for the monotonic case how to construct non standard lagrangian tori which satisify the monotonicity condition. First of all we study non standard tori which are Bohr - Sommerfeld with respect to the anticanonical class. This notion was introduced in [2], where one defines certain universal Maslov class for the lagrangian submanifolds in compact simply connected monotonic symplectic manifolds. Then we show how monotonic non standard lagrangian tori of Chekanov type can be constructed. Furthemore we extend the consideration to pseudotoric setup and construct examples of monotonic lagrangian tori in non toric monotonic manifolds: complex 4 - dimensional quadric and full flag variety .
Introduction
Our framework is as usual: let be a compact smooth simply connected real symplectic manifold of dimension with integer symplectic form , so .
Let be a compact orientable - dimensional submanifold. We say that is lagrangian if , and Bohr - Sommerfeld of level (or for short) if for any loop and any disc one has . Below we consider lagrangian tori only; however many things can be extended to much more general case.
To establish for a given lagrangian torus is it Bohr - Sommerfeld or not one has to calculate the periods of : take a basis , realize it by loops , find discs, bounded by the loops, and compute their symplectic areas which gives the set of periods defined up to . Clearly any lagrangian is if and only if the periods belong to ; any other choice of the basis corresponds to a transformation of the period vector by , therefore for any lagrangian torus one can define its Bohr - Sommerfeld level as the minimal such that every belongs to if it exists or if it does not saying that it is .
Fixing any almost complex structure on , compatible with , we get the complex determinant line bundle which we call anticanoncial line bundle following the tradition. It depends on the choice of , but its first Chern class does not being integer valued therefore it is a topological invariant of symplectic manifold. Consider the case of monotonic symplecitc manifold namely when for certain integer . For this case we say that a lagrangian torus is Bohr - Sommerfeld with respect to the anticanonical bundle (or for short) if it is Bohr - Sommmerfeld of level .
Remark. This assignment looks a bit artificial in general symplectic setup, but from the point of view of algebraic geometry it looks more natural. Indeed, consider a Fano variety . By the very definition its anticanonical line bundle is ample therefore certain power induces an embedding of to the projective space. Then choosing a standard Kahler form on the projective space and restricting it to the image of we get a symplectic form on such that single is integer as well since the class . The resulting form can be called anti canonical; clearly it is not unique but since all standard Kahler forms on the projective space are conjugated one could expect that the corresponding lagrangian geometries are the same. In this case lagrangian tori must characterize our given as well as algebro geometric ingredients do it.
Suppose that is in addition monotonic, then for any lagrangian torus one has a universal class defined in [2]. Fix a compatible almost complex structure on and an orientation on . Then we get a realization of together with the corresponding hermitian structure on it given by the hermitian triple (the Riemannian metric is reconstructed from two other elements) on the tangent bundle . Then we choose a hermitian connection whose curvature form is proportional to . Then if is it implies that the restriction admits a covariantly constant section defined up to . On the other hand for a choosen orientation take the corresponding section of the determinant , project it to the complex determinant and denote the result as . Local computations ensure that vanishes nowhere, therefore the ratio defines an integer cohomology class given by the lifting the standard generator of , and we denote this class as . In [2] one shows that this class can be naturally understood as a universal version on the Maslov class; it is invariant under the Hamiltonian (isodrastic) deformations of . One can show that is monotonic if and only if is trivial, see [2].
Thus to study monotonic lagrangian tori we first search lagrangian tori. Therefore first of all we study the periods.
1 Toric case
Now we come to our main subject: non standard lagrangian tori of Chekanov type. To start with let us take the simplest examples which have been appeared many times.
The first example. Consider the projective plane with the standard symplectic form . Fix homogenious coordinates and consider a pencil of plane conics with the base set . The complement is fibered over with homogenious coordinates , and we denote this map as ; all the fibers are smooth except two distinguished, when or equals to 0. The real moment map
[TABLE]
“commutes” with : its Hamiltonian action preserves the fibers of . Therefore the data define a pseudotoric structure on , see [1].
Then as it was shown in [1], any choice of a smooth loop gives a lagrangian torus
[TABLE]
if is non contractible then is of the standard type being Hamiltonian isotopic to a standard Liouville torus given by the toric structure on , otherwise is non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type. The proofs and discussion can be found in [1].
The projective plane is monotonic (being Fano), namely therefore the monotonicity coefficient equals for this case.
Here we are interested in the Chekanov type tori, and the main claim is the following: it exists a smooth contractible loop such that the corresponding lagrangian torus is monotonic.
The construction is rather explicit: first we construct which is and then we show that it is monotonic. So we start with the periods. To calculate periods of we need a “section” of the map . Take projective line , and note that satisfies ; on the other hand intersects each regular fiber of exactly at two conjugated points. Then fix a smooth loop such that: 1) the loop does not intersect its image under the involution of our projective line ; 2) the loop bounds a disc of symplectic area . Then for any point with coordinates take the loop . Note that never meets except at again (the condition 1) above), therefore after the globalization we get a smooth 2 -torus. The claim is that 1) this torus is lagrangian, non standard of Chekanov type; 2) it is ; 3) it is monotonic.
The first follows from the fact that restricted to is a double covering ramified exactly at (and is exactly the conjugation of the fibers), thus where . On the other hand choose the classes of and for any as the basis in . Then the periods equal since the choice of and the fact that is an equatorial loop on conic .
For the monotonicity we need some arguments from the toric geometry. Add the second moment map
[TABLE]
(note that this function preserves our section by the Hamiltonian action), then the configuration of three projective lines , is invariant under the toric action generated by moment maps and . Therefore it exists a holomorphic section of the anticanonical bundle invariant under the full toric action. For our lagrangian torus we fix a section of the determinant bundle given by the following condition: take where is a non vanishing section of , lifted by the flow generated by on whole . Then the monotonicity condition for our non standard lagrangian torus is equivalent to the following condition: non vanishing complex function has degree 1 (here is top holomorphic form with pole along , dual to ).
Therefore our task is to calculate the degree of this map.
At each point of one has a tangent vector given by since induces the slicing of , corresponding to the standard toric fibration of the projective plane. Without loss of generality we can suggest that transversally intersects the slices except at two tangent points. Toric arguments imply that the degree is zero, if we take . But we can express at each point tangent vector in terms of using the complex structure (since is complex submanifold) namely it is a parametrization such that ; substituting this exrpession to and using - linearity of the pairing we get that has degree 1. Therefore is monotonic.
Note that this construction can not directly lead to construction of non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type of Bohr - Sommerfeld level 2: it does not exist a smooth equatorial loop with trivial intersection with .
The second example. Consider the direct product endowed with the product symplectic form of type (1,1). Thus is a complex 2 - dimnesional quadric. Fix homogenious coordinates on both the projective lines and consider pseudotoric structure where
[TABLE]
and is given by . Here are the coordinates on the last , and the base set is formed by 4 points which are the pairs of poles on the product projective lines. In other words, corresponds to pencil of plane conics in .
A non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type arises from the following data: take a contractible loop then
[TABLE]
is a lagrangian torus. Again, as in the first example, to compute the periods we need to find an appropriate “section” for the map in . In this case take rational curve . It admits involution . The total symplectic area , therefore it is possible to find a smooth loop such that 1) does not intersect in ; 2) the symplectic area of the small disc bounded by equals . Then we claim that non standard lagrangian torus is and monotonic. Indeed, for this case the anticanonical class for has the type (2,2), therefore ; at the same time periods for equal since the loop is equatorial for conic if is not a pole, and the total symplectic area of the conic equals to 2.
To establish monotonicity of we use absolutely the same arguments as in the previous example. Adding the second moment map
[TABLE]
we consider a destinguished section of the anticanonical line bundle which vanishes on the boundary divisor formed by 4 lines; as in the previous case this section is invariant under the toric action generated by the moment maps . The resting arguments are the same as above; they lead to the main claim — non standard lagrangian torus is monotonic.
Essentially the same construction can be done for the case for copies of equipped with the standard product symplectic form . Fix homogenious coordinates for -th component, then the standard toric structure is given by the set of moment maps where , the boundary divisor consists of components ; the standard toric fibration admits monontonic lagrangian torus .
In [1] one introduces a natural pseudotoric structure on given by the data where , defined by and the base set consists of intersections .
The values of the reduced moment maps for the monotonic lagrangian torus equal 0, and therefore first of all we are looking for an approriate section of the map satisfies . It is not hard to see that the diagonal is the desired section. The map is the standard -covering; the symplectic area of equals .
In terms of the pseudotoric structure the standard lagrangian torus is given by the following choice: take smooth loop , then is exactly .
Now since represents the anticanonical class while the monotonicity coefficient . Therefore to find a non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type we need a smooth constractible loop such that 1) after the rotation where is the primitive rotation of ; 2) the symplectic area of the disc bounded by equals or equivalently of the symplectic area of . It is not hard to see that such a loop exists. Then the corresponding non standard lagrangian torus where , is smooth and .
The proof that is monotonic follows the same scheme as in the first example. Essentially we have to check only one loop .
Take the section with zeroset at ; this section is invariant under the Hamiltonian action of each , where we add -th moment map ; note that is tangent to at each point. Therefore non vanishing complex function has degree zero; here as above is the top holomorhic form with pole at dual to . Again we can take a parametrization such that the tangent vector (without loos of generality we can take convex). Consequently the degree of the map along equals to 1; the section does not vanish being restricted to small disc bounded by therefore the universal Maslov class must have trivial value on . Therefore is monotonic.
Consider now general situation. Let be a compact smooth simply connected toric symplectic manifold of dimension with integer symplectic form and complete set of commuting moment maps (first integrals) (see f.e. [3]). As it was shown in [1] it admits a pseudotoric structure where are pairwise commuting moment maps derived from the complete set of first integrals by linear transformations, is the base set, is the map with symplectic fibers, preserved by the Hamiltonian action of each (the “commutation” relation for and ). Recall the main idea of the construction.
For a given toric manifold we can fix the complex structure which is invariant with respect to the toric action, this structure is essentially unique. Consider the boundary divisor , — it is a reducible complex subvariety of complex dimension , formed by irreducible components where . Taking the corresponding classes one can find a relation with integer coeficients , coming from the combinatorial description of . Recall that our toric can be recontructed from the corresponding convex polytop where is the action map. Then for a given relation we separate the summands with non negative and negative coefficients correspondingly, so , . Therefore we have . Then it exists a holomorphic line bundle which admits holomorphic sections with zerosets . Since both and are invariant with respect to the toric action generated by it is a linear condition on deriving a couple of moment maps which satisfy the following condition: every element from the linear span is invariant under the action of each . Thus a pseudotoric structure on is given by the data: the base set is the base set of the pencil , the map is given by the elements of the pencil, and the moment maps are as described above.
For the same probably there are many relations of the form , and formally we can proceed for any such relation; however as it was pointed out in [1] interesting and elegant examples appear in the “middle” cases when is not too small or too big. Below we will see what would be a natural condition on corresponds to the “middle” case.
Continue the construction. All the fibers are smooth except for ; the completions
[TABLE]
have as the supports the components of the boundary divisor . Any smooth function can complete the set of moment maps — take the lift , correctly defined on the complement , then the last function must commute with every . However this lift can not be extended to whole ; at the same time every standard lagrangian torus from the toric fibration on given by the moment maps is presented in the form where is a smooth non contractible loop and are fixed values of the moment maps .
Recall that in this setup the choice of a contractible smooth loop together with the choice of the values give a smooth lagrangian torus which is called non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type. The details can be found in [1].
Suppose additionally that is monotonic, thus , and suppose that standard torus is monotonic. Then we would like to find a smooth non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type (or just for short) and establish whether or not it is monotonic.
It is clear that the periods for lagrangian tori and are almost the same except for one cycle in projected by either to non contractible loop or to contractible . Thus we have to find a contractible loop with the desired period.
Following the same strategy as in the examples above, first we need an appropriate “section” of the map , so a symplectic Riemann surface such that intersects each fiber at finite number of points. Consider the subset ; there one has a complex one - dimensional distribution given by where is our toric complex structure; this distribution is invariant under the action of therefore it is integrable. Indeed, for every from the complete set the Hamiltonian action preserves all the data which generate the distribution.
The leaves of the integrable distribution are interchanged by the Hamitonian action of and we can find the last as a linear combination of such that is tangent to the leaves; since for each leaf this action has exactly two fixed points, in general the leaves are rational curves.
Fix a leaf of the distribution and denote it as . By the construction intersects each fiber at a finite set of points (algebraic geometry provides the shortest way to see this fact), therefore the restriction gives a finite covering ramified exactly at two points and . Denote the degree of the covering as . Let the symplectic area of equals to . What we need is a smooth contractible loop , where are the branching points, such that two properties hold: 1) is smooth , 2) cuts a disc on of symplectic area where . It is clear that given such the corresponding non standard lagrangian torus must be .
To study this question, take a segment , connecting the poles, and lift its preimage under . The preimage divides into connected open parts such that for every for each one has . On the other hand it exists such that the symplectic area .
Then the existence of a smooth loop which satisfies the properties 1) and 2) above is equivalent to the following numerical condition . Indeed, every smooth loop satsifies 1) must lie in a component therefore the symplectic area of the dics is strictly less than . But to have the right period must be integer, thus .
This inequality has clear geometric meaning: both the numbers are topological intersection indexes, where and . Note since every and are complex, the topological intersections are given just by the numbers of the intersection points. Let ; then the last inequality means .
Note that all the constructions depend on one combinatorial data: relation , which corresponds to integer vector . We can say that corresponds to “middle” case if the inequality holds. For such “middle” pseudotoric structure we claim that it does exist non standard lagrangian torus of Chekanov type.
For the “middle” pseudotoric structure one can find an approriate non standard torus with periods ; possibly we have another non stadard tori with periods say , but we can apply the arguments from the above about the monotonicity condition only for the first torus with . For this case again we have a holomorphic section invariant under the Hamiltonian action of , and again we can choose a parametrization for convex smooth loop such that , and establish that the corresponding degree equals 1 (not ).
Therefore for this “middle” case we can claim the existence of monotonic non standard lagrangian tori of Chekanov type.
2 Non toric case
The constructions can be directly generalized to non toric but pseudotoric case. Below we study two examples: 4 - dimensional quadric and full flag in . As it was established both are pseudotoric, see [1].
The third example. Take the hypersurface with homogenious coordinates . The restriction of the standard Kahler form is taken as the integer symplectic form. Note that is monotonic: the anticanonical bundle is therefore .
The pseudotoric structure is given by the data where is given by the formulas
[TABLE]
therefore the base set consists of 8 projective planes defined by the condition , and real Morse functions has the following form
[TABLE]
where is and the cyclic permutations of it.
In contrast with the toric case the map has three singular fibers: over points and . As it was shown in [1], the choice of a smooth loop and regular values of defines a smooth lagrangian torus . We are interested in the “middle” values of , below we will explain the reason why we consider the case . Smooth loops on the complement are distinguished by their topological types, and we say that is of the standard type if is non contractible or that is of Chekanov type if it is contractible.
Now our task is to calculate the periods for both types in dependence on smooth loops . To do this we must find a “section” of map as it was done in the toric case. However in the present case we must as well calculate “toric” periods for which means the periods of 3 - torus which belongs to a toric fiber over . For every such we have a distinguished basis represented by loops of the form and correspondingly; clearly the periods are .
To find the 4th period for take Riemann surface given by the intersection where is the projective plane . As in the toric case it was choosen such that where . By the very construction is a plane conic, therefore its symplectic area is . It is ramified over but the covering structure is more complicated than in the toric case: we have 4 sheets outside of , and over each the four branches are separated in two pairs so the preimage over each consists of 2 points (and there are exactly three possibility for this separation, and all of them are realized over and ).
Our conic has 6 distinguished branching points such that ; it has three distinguished symmetries given by rotations around axes on angle . Every contractible smooth loop is lifted to 4 copies of smooth loops ; on the other hand every smooth contractible loop such that for each , defines a smooth loop on the base therefore it defines a smooth lagrangian torus of Chekanov type. Of course, the intersection consists of all , but the period is the same since the symmetry.
Remove from the big circle joining points on one segment (say, with ends at and ) and then lift this cutting up to ; it leads to the division of into four pieces corresponding to octahedron with removed 4 “equatorial” edges. The symplectic area of each equals to ; at the same time a smooth loop sitting inside of satisfies the property 1); since the symplectic area of is it is possible to choose a smooth loop which bounds a disc of symplectic area — and it is enough for us to constract the desired non standard lagrangian torus satisfies condition. Indeed, for the corresponding torus the periods are thus it is .
At the same time there are standard type lagrangian tori, defined by loops “centered” at the branching points . Consider the case , all the resting cases are essentially the same. A smooth loop , centered at is suitable for us if it is projected by to a smooth loop ; and to get a lagrangian torus we need bounds a disc of symplectic area with integer . Since the places of points are at the vertices of octahedron so the distance between any two points is fixed, we easily deduce that such loop exists; moreover since the total symplectic are of equals 2 there are three possibilitites: can cut , or of the total symplectic area, and all the cases lead to smooth lagrangian tori which are distinguished by their periods. Denote as the loop which cuts of the total symplectic area. Take the images and construct the corresponding lagrangian tori ; all of them are . It is clear that and are not Hamiltonian isotopic since they have different periods.
We can repeat the construction choosing another as the “center” of the corresponding loop, therefore we have 9 different lagrangian tori of standard type; thus a natural question arises — which of them are monotonic? Of course, essentially the question is about since all the others possess the same properties.
Certain arguments hints the answer: our quadric admits a toric degeneration, being included in the family . All these are pesudotoric: the pseudtoric structure is given by the same functions and the same map restricted on each idividually; as the base one has . At the limit for we have that it is toric and singular: it contains singular locus which is a projective line. Note that the base set for each is the same: , so .
For the limit case the map admits just two singular fibers over the poles and , being toric. The section of is again given by the intersection with the plane ; in this case the section is the union of two conjugated projective lines, intersecting at the preimage . Geometrically under the limiting process the equator of , containing and is shrinked to point .
Under the deformation the standard lagrangian tori are deformed to “really” standard lagrangian tori in a toric manifold which can be described in the standard way. Take a smooth loop centered at which is invariant under the rotations around the axe and such that it cuts disc of symplectic area . Then the corresponding standard lagrangian tori are .
But in the toric setup we can distinguish monotonic cases: since here we have the fair toric action generated by and the resting which is taken to preserve the section , f.e. we can take
[TABLE]
it exists an invariant section of the anti canonical bundle, whose zeros form the boundary divisor , and for each standard torus we have an invarinat section of the determinant bundle, given by the wedge product of the Hamiltonian vector fields . Therefore the natural pairing is a constant function on : its derivation along each must be trivial.
It follows that the Maslov index for the loop must be equal to the index of the intersection of the line and the part of the boundary divisor which is given in our case as (note that does not contain the singular set of ). The index equals to 2, thus to be a loop on a monotonic lagrangian torus our loop must cut a disc of the symplectic area only. Consequently we have only one monotonic lagrangian torus .
Note that the universal Maslov class is stable with respect to continuous deformations; thus if we take the corresponding universal Maslov classes for every standard lagrangian torus constructed using the same data on each then if the universal Maslov class for is trivial it must be trivial for each ; and the opposite is also true.
These arguments lead to the following answer: for our quadric the standard lagrangian tori are monotonic.
Remark. Smooth standard lagrangian tori and in quadric present for us quite interesting examples of lagrangian tori which carry non trivial universal Maslov classes.
The last example. The full flag variety realized as , a divisor of type (1,1) given by the equation . Here and are homogenious coordinates on the first and the second direct summands correspondingly. We consider the symplectic structure of type (1,1) given by the restriction to of the product symplectic form .
The psedutoric structure constructed in [1] is given by two moment maps
[TABLE]
both the functions preserve by the Hamiltonian action the fibers of the map given by the equations where are the coordinates on the last . The base set consists of six lines of the form or where is a permutation of .
The compactification of generic fiber is isomorphic to del Pezzo surface of degree 6; over three distinguished points we have degenerated fibers isomorphic to two copies of del Pezzo surfaces both of degree 8; the details can be found in [1].
The flag variety is monotonic (being Fano variety), the monotonicity coefficient equals to 2: the anticanonical class is presented by the restriction while our symplectic form represents .
Again, as it was done in the examples above, first we construct an approriate “section” of the map on the common level set of our moment maps and . In this example the suitable section is given by the following rational curve : take the diagonal and intersect it with our cycle, so . It is clear that ; since in the diagonal our curve is given by the equation it is a plane conic, therefore it is rational. The symplectic area of equals to 2.
Each regular fiber intersects exactly at 4 points; we have ramification points at where 4 leaves are divided in pairs. So geometrically the picture is essentially the same as in the previous example: the only difference appears when we calculate the ratio between the symplectic area of (which is 2) and the monotonicity coefficient (which is 2, not 4 as in the quadric case). So the main difference changes the answer to the question about non standard lagrangian tori. Indeed, as we have seen in the previous example, our can be divided into four domains such that a smooth loop defines the corresponding non standard lagrangian torus. But in the previous case the symplectic area of such a loop was restricted by and since the monotonicity coefficient was 4 we could solve the existence problem; in contrast now we can not do it — a smooth loop with the right period does not exist.
Therefore the full flag variety does not admit non standard lagrangian tori with respect to the given pseudotoric structure. It implies non existence of monotonic non standard lagrangian tori with respect to the given pseudotoric structure.
Perhaps if we consider another pseudotoric structure the answer will be different.
However our construction gives monotonic lagrangian tori of standard type in . Indeed, consider with 6 marked ramification points . Explicitly take and find a smooth loop centered at which is symmectric under the rotations around the axe and which cuts the disc of symplectic area , — such a loop exists since the total area of is 2. For each point of this loop take the 2 - torus spanned by the toric action of the moment maps and . Then collecting these 2 - tori along we get a smooth torus . We claim that this torus is smooth and . Indeed, since the projection is a smooth non contractible loop, the resulting torus must be smooth; on the other hand it has periods thus it is .
Moreover, since the flag variety admits toric degeneration comaptible with our construction we can repeat the arguments from the above and deduce that lagrangian torus is monotonic.
Indeed, as it was done for the quadric case above, consider the following deformation family . For we have our given flag variety ; note that the pseudotoric structure is defined over each element of our family, and at the limiting point we get a pseudotoric structure on a singular toric variety : the singular set consists of exactly one point , and the corresponding convex polytop is the famous Gelfand - Zeytlin polytop with one 4 - valent vertex which corresponds to the singular point.
The map has the same base set as for every consists of 6 lines, but for there are 2 points underlying non regular fibers: is the same as for with coordinates and the second point . Take the same diagonal and cut the section as (it is clear that condition holds). But for our curve is reducible being the union of two projective lines with three marked points and — the singular point of the ambient variety .
Take the loop centered at such that it is symmetric with respect to rotations around the axe and such that it bounds a disc of symplectic area (so this is an equatorial loop). Then the corresponding standard lagrangian torus is monotonic. Again we can apply the deformation arguments and show that smooth lagrangian torus must be monotonic as well.
