Nearby Lagrangian Conjecture


The nearby Lagrangian conjecture asserts that every closed exact embedded Lagrangian submanifold of the cotangent bundle T^*Q of a closed connected smooth manifold Q is Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero section. Here closed means compact without boundary, and exactness means that the canonical 1-form restricts to df on the submanifold. The isotopy is required to have compact support in the cotangent bundle.
