The Z-graded symplectic Floer cohomology of monotone Lagrangian sub-manifolds
Weiping Li
Abstract.
We define an integer graded symplectic Floer cohomology and a
Fintushel-Stern type spectral sequence which are new invariants for
monotone Lagrangian sub-manifolds and exact isotopes. The Z-graded
symplectic Floer cohomology is an integral lifting of the usual
Z_Sigma(L)-graded Floer-Oh cohomology. We prove the Kunneth formula
for the spectral sequence and an ring structure on it. The ring
structure on the Z_Sigma(L)-graded Floer cohomology is induced from
the ring structure of the cohomology of the Lagrangian sub-manifold
via the spectral sequence. Using the Z-graded symplectic Floer
cohomology, we show some intertwining relations among the Hofer energy
e_H(L) of the embedded Lagrangian, the minimal symplectic action
sigma(L), the minimal Maslov index Sigma(L) and the smallest integer
k(L, phi) of the converging spectral sequence of the Lagrangian L.
