Lagrangian caps

We establish an h-principle for exact Lagrangian embeddings with concave Legendrian boundary. We prove, in particular, that in the complement of the unit ball B in the standard symplectic R[superscript 2n], 2n ≥ 6 , there exists an embedded Lagrangian n-disc transversely attached to B along its Lege...

Description
Summary:We establish an h-principle for exact Lagrangian embeddings with concave Legendrian boundary. We prove, in particular, that in the complement of the unit ball B in the standard symplectic R[superscript 2n], 2n ≥ 6 , there exists an embedded Lagrangian n-disc transversely attached to B along its Legendrian boundary, which is loose in the sense of Murphy (Loose Legendrian embeddings in high dimensional contact manifolds, arXiv:1201.2245, 2013).
