5 Fukaya category and its degeneration

5.1 Fukaya category

Fukaya category (of a compact symplectic manifold) in the approach presented here will be in fact an A∞A_{\infty}-pre-category. Our definition is not given in the maximal generality, but it will be sufficient for the main application to abelian varieties. For more elaborated definitions see [Fu1], [Ko].

Let (V,ω)(V,\omega) be a compact symplectic manifold of dimension 2​n2n, such that c1​(TV)=0∈H2​(V,𝐙)c_{1}(T_{V})=0\in H^{2}(V,{{\bf Z}}). The Fukaya category (with the trivial BB-field) associated with (V,ω)(V,\omega) depends on some additional data, which we are going to describe below.

We fix an almost complex structure JJ compatible with ω\omega and a smooth everywhere non-vanishing differential form Ω\Omega, which is (n,0)(n,0)-form with respect to JJ. Let LL be an oriented Lagrangian submanifold. Then one has a map ArgL:=ArgΩ|L:L→𝐑/2π𝐙Arg_{L}:=Arg_{\Omega_{|L}}:L\to{{\bf R}}/2\pi{{\bf Z}}, where ArgΩ|L(x)Arg_{\Omega_{|L}}(x) is the argument of the non-zero complex number Ω⁡(e1∧…∧en)\Omega(e_{1}\wedge...\wedge e_{n}), and e1,…,ene_{1},...,e_{n} is an oriented basis of Tx​L,x∈LT_{x}L,x\in L.

Definition 16

Objects of the Fukaya category F⁡(V,ω,J,Ω)F(V,\omega,J,\Omega) are triples
(L,ρ,A​r​g~L)(L,\rho,\widetilde{Arg}_{L}), where LL is a compact oriented Lagrangian submanifold of VV (called the support of the object), ρ\rho is a local system on LL (i.e. a complex vector bundle with flat connection), and A​r​g~L:L→𝐑\widetilde{Arg}_{L}:L\to{{\bf R}} a continuous lift of A​r​gLArg_{L}.

We require that for any element β∈π2f​r​e​e​(V,L):=π0​(M​a​p​s​((D2,∂D2),(V,L))𝐶𝐿𝑂𝑆𝐸\beta\in\pi_{2}^{free}(V,L):=\pi_{0}(Maps((D^{2},\partial D^{2}),(V,L)), the pairing ([ω],β)([\omega],\beta) is equal to zero.

We will sometimes denote the Fukaya category by F⁡(V,ω)F(V,\omega), or simply by F⁡(V)F(V). We will also often omit from the notation the lifted argument function, thus denoting an object simply by (L,ρ)(L,\rho).

Let 𝐂ε{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon} be the field consisting of formal series f=∑i≥0cie−λi/εf=\sum_{i\geq 0}c_{i}e^{-\lambda_{i}/\varepsilon}, such that ci∈𝐂,λi∈𝐑,λ0<λ1<…,λi→+∞c_{i}\in{{\bf C}},\lambda_{i}\in{{\bf R}},\lambda_{0}<\lambda_{1}<...,\lambda_{i}\to+\infty. In the case when [ω]∈H2​(V,𝐙)[\omega]\in H^{2}(V,{{\bf Z}}), one can in fact work over the field 𝐂⁡((q)){{\bf C}}((q)), where q=e​x​p​(−1ε)q=exp(-{1\over{\varepsilon}}). In general we equip 𝐂ε{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon} with the adic topology: a fundamental system of neighborhoods of zero consists of sets Ux={f=∑i≥0cie−λi/ε|λi≥x,i≥0},x∈𝐑U_{x}=\{f=\sum_{i\geq 0}c_{i}e^{-\lambda_{i}/\varepsilon}|\lambda_{i}\geq x,i\geq 0\},x\in{{\bf R}}.

Definition 17

For two objects with transversal supports we define the space of morphisms such as follows

HomF⁡(V,ω)((L1,ρ1,A​r​g~1),(L2,ρ2,A​r​g~2)):=(⊕x∈L1∩L2Hom(ρ1​x,ρ2​x))⊗𝐂ε.Hom_{F(V,\omega)}((L_{1},\rho_{1},\widetilde{Arg}_{1}),(L_{2},\rho_{2},\widetilde{Arg}_{2})):=(\oplus_{x\in L_{1}\cap L_{2}}Hom(\rho_{1x},\rho_{2x}))\otimes{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon}.

Thus morphisms form a finite-dimensional vector space over the field 𝐂ε{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon}. There is a 𝐙{\bf Z}-grading of the space of morphisms given in terms of Maslov index d​e​g:L1∩L2→𝐙deg:L_{1}\cap L_{2}\to{{\bf Z}} (see [Fu2], [Ko], [Se]).

Remark 11

The condition ([ω],β)=0([\omega],\beta)=0 is introduced for convenience only. It helps to avoid the problem with the composition m0m_{0} we mentioned before. The condition holds in the case when VV is a torus with the constant symplectic form, and LL is a Lagrangian subtorus. This is our main application in present paper. In general there is a way to work with non-trivial m0m_{0}, if it is small in the adic topology.

Now we are going to describe the A∞A_{\infty}-structure. It is defined by means of a collection of maps (higher compositions) of graded vector spaces mkF⁡(V):⊗0≤i≤k−1HomF⁡(V)((Li,ρi),(Li+1,ρi+1))→HomF⁡(V)((L0,ρ0),(Lk,ρk))[2−k]m_{k}^{F(V)}:\otimes_{0\leq i\leq k-1}Hom_{F(V)}((L_{i},\rho_{i}),(L_{i+1},\rho_{i+1}))\to Hom_{F(V)}((L_{0},\rho_{0}),(L_{k},\rho_{k}))[2-k], where k≥1k\geq 1 and the sequence (L0,…,Lk)(L_{0},...,L_{k}) corresponds to a transversal sequence of objects (the latter notion will be defined below).

In the case, when all local systems are trivial of rank one, the map mkm_{k} is defined such as follows. Let DD be a standard disc D={z∈𝐂||z|≤1}D=\{z\in{{\bf C}}|\,|z|\leq 1\}. Let us fix a sequence (L0,…,Lk)(L_{0},...,L_{k}) of supports of objects with pairwise transversal intersections, intersection points xi∈Li∩Li+1,0≤i≤k−1x_{i}\in L_{i}\cap L_{i+1},0\leq i\leq k-1, xk∈L0∩Lkx_{k}\in L_{0}\cap L_{k}, and β∈π2f​r​e​e(V,∪0≤i≤kLi)\beta\in\pi_{2}^{free}(V,\cup_{0\leq i\leq k}L_{i}). We denote by ℳ⁡(L0,…,Lk,x0,…,xk,β){\cal M}(L_{0},...,L_{k};x_{0},...,x_{k};\beta) the set of collections (y0,…,yk,ψ)(y_{0},...,y_{k};\psi), where yi,0≤i≤ky_{i},0\leq i\leq k are cyclically ordered pairwise distinct points on the boundary ∂D\partial D, and ψ:D→(V,J)\psi:D\to(V,J) a pseudo-holomorphic map such that ψ⁡(yi)=xi,ψ⁡(yi​yi+1¯)⊂Li,0≤i≤k,y0=yk\psi(y_{i})=x_{i},\psi(\overline{y_{i}y_{i+1}})\subset L_{i},0\leq i\leq k,y_{0}=y_{k}, [ϕ]=β[\phi]=\beta. Here yi​yi+1¯\overline{y_{i}y_{i+1}} denotes the arc between yiy_{i} and yi+1y_{i+1}. There is a natural action of P​S​L​(2,𝐑)PSL(2,{{\bf R}}) on ℳ⁡(L0,…,Lk,x0,…,xk,β){\cal M}(L_{0},...,L_{k};x_{0},...,x_{k};\beta) arising from the holomorphic action on DD by fractional linear transformations. The action is free except of the case k=1,x0=x1,β=0k=1,x_{0}=x_{1},\beta=0, which is not relevant for our purposes.

Let xi∈Li∩Li+1,0≤i≤k−1,xk∈L0∩Lkx_{i}\in L_{i}\cap L_{i+1},0\leq i\leq k-1,x_{k}\in L_{0}\cap L_{k} satisfy the condition d​e​g​xk=∑0≤i≤k−1d​e​g​xi+2−kdeg\,x_{k}=\sum_{0\leq i\leq k-1}deg\,x_{i}+2-k. Then the matrix element (mk​(x0,x1,…,xk−1),xk)(m_{k}(x_{0},x_{1},...,x_{k-1}),x_{k}) is given by the formula (mk(x0,x1,…,xk−1),xk)=∑±q(β,[ω])(m_{k}(x_{0},x_{1},...,x_{k-1}),x_{k})=\sum\pm q^{({\beta},[\omega])}, where sum is taken over all P​S​L​(2,𝐑)PSL(2,{{\bf R}})-orbits of points in ℳ⁡(L0,…,Lk,x0,…,xk,β){\cal M}(L_{0},...,L_{k};x_{0},...,x_{k};\beta). Signs are derived from orientations of certain cycles in the moduli space ℳ=ℳ⁡(L0,…,Lk,x0,…,xk,β)/P​S​L​(2,𝐑){\cal M}={\cal M}(L_{0},...,L_{k};x_{0},...,x_{k};\beta)/PSL(2,{{\bf R}}). We will comment on them below (see [Fu1], [Ko] for more details). In the case of non-trivial local systems there is an additional factor for each summand. It corresponds to the holonomies of local system along the arcs.

Now we will describe the transversality condition. Assume that we are given a sequence of objects (Li,ρi),0≤i≤k(L_{i},\rho_{i}),0\leq i\leq k of the Fukaya category. We say that they are transversal if the following conditions hold:

1) There are only pairwise intersections Li∩LjL_{i}\cap L_{j}, and they are transversal.

2) For any subsequence (Li0,…,Lim),m≥1,i0<i1<…<im(L_{i_{0}},...,L_{i_{m}}),\,m\geq 1,\,i_{0}<i_{1}<...<i_{m}, any choice of intersection points xim∈Li0∩Limx_{i_{m}}\in L_{i_{0}}\cap L_{i_{m}}, xip∈Lip∩Lip+1,0≤p≤m−1x_{i_{p}}\in L_{i_{p}}\cap L_{i_{p+1}},0\leq p\leq m-1 such that d​e​g​xim−(∑0≤i≤m−1d​e​g​xip+2−m)=0deg\,x_{i_{m}}-(\sum_{0\leq i\leq m-1}deg\,x_{i_{p}}+2-m)=0, and any β∈π2f​r​e​e(V,∪0≤p≤mLip)\beta\in\pi_{2}^{free}(V,\cup_{0\leq p\leq m}L_{i_{p}}), the corresponding component of the moduli space
ℳ⁡(Li0,…,Lim,xi0,…,xim,β)/P​S​L​(2,𝐑){\cal M}(L_{i_{0}},...,L_{i_{m}};x_{i_{0}},...,x_{i_{m}};\beta)/PSL(2,{{\bf R}}) contains only smooth points, and is zero-dimensional.

3) If d​e​g​xim−(∑0≤i≤m−1d​e​g​xip+2−m)<0deg\,x_{i_{m}}-(\sum_{0\leq i\leq m-1}deg\,x_{i_{p}}+2-m)<0 then the corresponding component is empty.

Let us comment on these conditions. The first one is needed to define morphisms. The quotient set ℳ=ℳ⁡(Li0,…,Lim,xi0,…,xim,β)/P​S​L​(2,𝐑){\cal M}={\cal M}(L_{i_{0}},...,L_{i_{m}};x_{i_{0}},...,x_{i_{m}};\beta)/PSL(2,{{\bf R}}) which appears in the second condition locally can be identified with the space of solutions of a non-linear elliptic problem. For the linearized problem the corresponding Fredholm operator has index d​e​g​xim−(∑0≤i≤m−1d​e​g​xip+2−m)deg\,x_{i_{m}}-(\sum_{0\leq i\leq m-1}deg\,x_{i_{p}}+2-m). We define smooth points ℳs​m{\cal M}^{sm} of ℳ{\cal M} as such points where the cokernel of the Fredholm operator is trivial. Then ℳs​m{\cal M}^{sm} is a smooth manifold of the dimension equal to the index. Moreover, one checks that the spaces ℳs​m{\cal M}^{sm} carry natural orientations given by the determinants of the corresponding Fredholm operators. It follows that in the zero-dimensional case what we get is a set of points with multiplicities ±1\pm 1 (in particular, the multiplicities are integer numbers). Multiple covers and stable maps which appear in the definition of Gromov-Witten invariants and produce non-trivial denominators, do not appear in our framework for the Fukaya category. Therefore one can define the Fukaya category over the ring 𝐙ε{{\bf Z}}_{\varepsilon} (the integral version of 𝐂ε{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon}). The number of points counted with signs gives a tensor coefficient of mkm_{k}.

Composition maps satisfy a system of quadratic equations, thus making F⁡(V,ω)F(V,\omega) into a non-unital A∞A_{\infty}-pre-category. One can check that it is in fact an A∞A_{\infty}-pre-category. Proof of the extension property is based on the following result of Fukaya (see [Fu2], [Se]).

Proposition 2

Let (Lt,ρt)(L_{t},\rho_{t}) be an object obtained by a small Hamiltonian deformation of an object (L,ρ)(L,\rho) of F⁡(V)F(V). Then (Lt,ρt)(L_{t},\rho_{t}) and (L,ρ)(L,\rho) are quasi-isomorphic.

For example, a sequence consisting of one object (L,ρ)(L,\rho) can be extended to a transversal sequence ((Lt1,ρt1),(L,ρ))((L_{t_{1}},\rho_{t_{1}}),(L,\rho)). Similarly, one can extend any finite set of transversal sequences.

It is easy to see that the set of connected components of the space of pairs (J,Ω)(J,\Omega) (equipped with the natural topology) is a principal homogeneous space over the lattice H1​(V,𝐙)H^{1}(V,{{\bf Z}}). Namely, f:V→U⁡(1)f:V\to U(1) acts on (J,Ω)(J,\Omega) such as follows: (J,Ω)↦(J,f​Ω)(J,\Omega)\mapsto(J,f\Omega). The following theorem can be derived from [Fu2].

Theorem 1

There exists a set Σ\Sigma of the second category (in the sense of Baire) in the space of almost complex structures compatible with ω\omega such that Fukaya categories F⁡(V,ω,J1,Ω1)F(V,\omega,J_{1},\Omega_{1}) and F⁡(V,ω,J2,Ω2)F(V,\omega,J_{2},\Omega_{2}) are equivalent as long as J1,J2∈ΣJ_{1},J_{2}\in\Sigma, and (J1,Ω1)(J_{1},\Omega_{1}) is homotopic to (J2,Ω2)(J_{2},\Omega_{2}).

Therefore the equivalence class of the Fukaya category depends on the connected component of the space of pairs.

5.2 Fukaya-Oh category for torus fibration

Let (Y,gY,∇)(Y,g_{Y},\nabla) be an AK-manifold with integral affine structure. The covariant lattice is denoted by TY𝐙T_{Y}^{{\bf Z}}, as before. From now on we will assume that YY is compact. This is a severe restriction. It was proven in [CY] that in this case a finite cover of space YY is a torus with the standard affine structure. It appears in the collapse of complex abelian varieties.

The manifold X∨=TY∗/(TY𝐙)∨X^{\vee}=T_{Y}^{\ast}/(T_{Y}^{{\bf Z}})^{\vee} is the total space of the torus bundle p∨:X∨→Yp^{\vee}:X^{\vee}\to Y. It carries a natural symplectic form ω=ωX∨\omega=\omega_{X^{\vee}} induced from the standard one on T∗​YT^{\ast}Y. We endow X∨X^{\vee} with a 1-parameter family of complex structures Jη,η→0J_{\eta},\eta\to 0 compatible with ω\omega. Indeed, the manifold Xη∨:=TY∗/η​(TY𝐙)∨X_{\eta}^{\vee}:=T_{Y}^{\ast}/\eta(T_{Y}^{{\bf Z}})^{\vee} carries a canonical complex structure described before. We identify X∨X^{\vee} and Xη∨X_{\eta}^{\vee} by the map (y,v)↦(y,η​v)(y,v)\mapsto(y,\eta v), where y∈Y,v∈TY,y∗y\in Y,v\in T^{\ast}_{Y,y}. Using this identification, we pull back to X∨X^{\vee} the complex structure and the metric. The fibers of p∨:X∨→Yp^{\vee}:X^{\vee}\to Y are flat Lagrangian tori for all values of η\eta.

We define on (X∨,Jη)(X^{\vee},J_{\eta}) a nowhere vanishing (n,0)(n,0)-form Ωη\Omega_{\eta} such as follows. Let us fix an oriented orthonormal basis e1,…,ene_{1},...,e_{n} in TY,y∗,y∈YT_{Y,y}^{\ast},y\in Y. We define Ωη\Omega_{\eta} as the nn-form on X∨X^{\vee}, which is invariant with respect to the TY,y∗/(TY,y𝐙)∨T_{Y,y}^{\ast}/(T_{Y,y}^{{\bf Z}})^{\vee}-action, and is equal to ⋀1≤j≤n((p∨)∗​ej+−1​Jη​(p∨)∗​ej)\bigwedge_{1\leq j\leq n}((p^{\vee})^{\ast}e_{j}+\sqrt{-1}J_{\eta}(p^{\vee})^{\ast}e_{j}).

Let LL be a compact oriented Lagrangian submanifold of X∨X^{\vee} such that p∨|Lp^{\vee}_{|L} is an unramified covering, and the orientation of LL is induced from the orientation of YY. We claim that there is a canonical choice A​r​g~Lc​a​n:L→𝐑\widetilde{Arg}_{L}^{can}:L\to{{\bf R}} for the function A​r​g~L:L→𝐑\widetilde{Arg}_{L}:L\to{{\bf R}}. Indeed, for any point x∈X∨x\in X^{\vee} the space of Lagrangian subspaces in TX∨,xT_{X^{\vee},x}, which are transversal to the vertical tangent space Txv​e​r​t=K​e​r​(p∨)∗T_{x}^{vert}=Ker(p^{\vee})_{\ast} is contractible. Let us consider the space ℒ{\cal L} of pairs (x,l)(x,l) such that x∈X∨x\in X^{\vee} and l⊂TX∨,xl\subset T_{X^{\vee},x} is a Lagrangian subspace, which is transversal to Txv​e​r​tT_{x}^{vert}, and endowed with the orientation induced from YY. Then the function (x,l)↦Arg(Ωη)|l(x)∈𝐑/2π𝐙(x,l)\mapsto Arg_{(\Omega_{\eta})_{|l}}(x)\in{{\bf R}}/2\pi{{\bf Z}} admits a unique continuous lifting A​r​g~:ℒ→𝐑\widetilde{Arg}:{\cal L}\to{{\bf R}}, vanishing at (x,Jη​(Txv​e​r​t)),x∈X∨(x,J_{\eta}(T_{x}^{vert})),x\in X^{\vee}. Restricting this function to LL we obtain A​r​g~Lc​a​n\widetilde{Arg}_{L}^{can}.

We will denote by Fη​(X∨)F^{\eta}(X^{\vee}) the Fukaya category F⁡(X∨,ω,Jη,Ωη)F(X^{\vee},\omega,J_{\eta},\Omega_{\eta}), and by Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}) its full A∞A_{\infty}-pre-subcategory with objects (L,ρ,A​r​g~Lc​a​n)(L,\rho,\widetilde{Arg}_{L}^{can}) such that LL is a compact Lagrangian submanifold with the orientation induced from YY, p∨|Lp^{\vee}_{|L} is an unramified covering, and A​r​g~Lc​a​n\widetilde{Arg}_{L}^{can} was described above. To simplify the notations we will denote objects of these categories by (L,ρ)(L,\rho).

Remark 12

One can check that for transversal Lagrangian submanifolds L1L_{1} and L2L_{2} as above, the Maslov index at any x∈L1∩L2x\in L_{1}\cap L_{2} is equal to the Morse index at p∨​(x)p^{\vee}(x) of the smooth Morse function f1−f2:Y→𝐑f_{1}-f_{2}:Y\to{{\bf R}} such that locally near xx one has Li=graph(dfi)(mod(TY𝐙)∨),i=1,2L_{i}=graph\,(df_{i})\,(mod(T_{Y}^{{\bf Z}})^{\vee}),i=1,2.

It follows from the results of [FuO] that there exists a limit of the family of A∞A_{\infty}-pre-categories Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}), η→0\eta\to 0 in the following sense. Objects and morphisms of Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}) do not depend on η\eta and remain the same in the limit. The compositions mkFu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)m_{k}^{F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee})} have limits as η→0\eta\to 0 in the adic topology of 𝐂ε{{\bf C}}_{\varepsilon}. They will be explicitly described below.

The following result can be derived from [FuO].

Proposition 3

The limiting A∞A_{\infty}-pre-category is equivalent to Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}) for all sufficiently small η\eta.

We will denote this A∞A_{\infty}-pre-category by F​O​(X∨)FO(X^{\vee}) and call it the Fukaya-Oh category of X∨X^{\vee} (or degenerate Fukaya category of X∨X^{\vee}).

Remark 13

In what follows we will assume that d​i​m​Y>1dim\,Y>1. The case d​i​m​Y=1dim\,Y=1 is somewhat different, but also it is much more simple (see for example [P1]). In particular, Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}) does not depend on η\eta in this case.

As we said before, the objects and morphisms for F​O​(X∨)FO(X^{\vee}) are the same as for Fu​n​r​a​mη​(X∨)F_{unram}^{\eta}(X^{\vee}). In order to define the composition map

mk:⊗0≤i≤k−1Hom((Li,ρi),(Li+1,ρi+1))→Hom((L0,ρ0),(Lk,ρk))[2−k]m_{k}:\otimes_{0\leq i\leq k-1}Hom((L_{i},\rho_{i}),(L_{i+1},\rho_{i+1}))\to Hom((L_{0},\rho_{0}),(L_{k},\rho_{k}))[2-k]

one uses the standard formulas, but the sum runs over certain two-dimensional surfaces in X∨X^{\vee} described below. For a sequence ((L0,ρ0),…,(Lk,ρk)),k≥1((L_{0},\rho_{0}),...,(L_{k},\rho_{k})),k\geq 1 of objects in F​O​(X∨)FO(X^{\vee}) we consider immersed two-dimensional surfaces S→X∨S\to X^{\vee} such that:

a) Boundary of SS belongs to L0∪…∪LkL_{0}\cup...\cup L_{k}.

b) S=(∪αTα)∪(∪βSβ)S=(\cup_{\alpha}T_{\alpha})\cup(\cup_{\beta}S_{\beta}) where and TαT_{\alpha} are geodesic triangles in fibers of p∨p^{\vee}, hence they are projected to points in YY.

c) Each SβS_{\beta} is a union of 1-parameter families of geodesic intervals contained in fibers of p∨p^{\vee} (i.e. a “strip”). Moreover, p∨|Sβ:Sβ→Yp^{\vee}_{|S_{\beta}}:S_{\beta}\to Y is a fibration over a connected interval Iβ:=p∨​(Sβ)I_{\beta}:=p^{\vee}(S_{\beta}) immersed in YY. Fibers of SβS_{\beta} over the interior points of IβI_{\beta} are geodesic intervals of strictly positive length. Fibers of SβS_{\beta} over the boundary points of IβI_{\beta} are either edges of triangles TαT_{\alpha} or intersection points xi∈Li∩Li+1,0≤i≤k−1,xk∈L0∩Lkx_{i}\in L_{i}\cap L_{i+1},0\leq i\leq k-1,\,x_{k}\in L_{0}\cap L_{k}.

d) Intervals IβI_{\beta} are edges of an immersed planar trivalent tree Γ⊂Y\Gamma\subset Y. Points p∨​(Tα)p^{\vee}(T_{\alpha}) are internal vertices of Γ\Gamma. Tail vertices of Γ\Gamma are projections of the intersection points x0,…,xkx_{0},\dots,x_{k}.

e) Let r:TY∗→X∨r:T^{\ast}_{Y}\to X^{\vee} be the natural fiberwise universal covering. If the Lagrangian manifolds r−1​(Li),i=0,…,kr^{-1}(L_{i}),i=0,...,k are locally given by differentials of smooth functions fi,i=0,…,kf_{i},i=0,...,k on YY, then the edges of Γ\Gamma must be gradient lines of fi−fjf_{i}-f_{j}. Intersection points of r−1​(Li)r^{-1}(L_{i}) and r−1​(Lj)r^{-1}(L_{j}) correspond to critical points of fi−fjf_{i}-f_{j}.

We depict a typical surface below:

[Uncaptioned image]

The projection of surface SS to YY is a gradient tree, with tail vertices being critical points of fi−fi+1f_{i}-f_{i+1} or of f0−fkf_{0}-f_{k}, and edges p∨​(Sβ)p^{\vee}(S_{\beta}) being the gradient lines of functions fi−fjf_{i}-f_{j}, where i=i⁡(β),j=j⁡(β),i<ji=i(\beta),j=j(\beta),i<j. The triangles are mapped into the internal vertices of the tree. Here is the picture of Γ=p∨​(S)\Gamma=p^{\vee}(S) for surface SS as above:

[Uncaptioned image]

Compositions mk=mkF​O​(X∨,ω)m_{k}=m_{k}^{FO(X^{\vee},\omega)} are given by the standard formulas, but now we are counting surfaces SS described in a)-d). The weight q⟨[S],[ω]⟩q^{\langle[S],[\omega]\rangle} can be written as exp(−1ε∑βvarp∨​(Sβ)fβ)exp(-{1\over{\varepsilon}}\sum_{\beta}var_{p^{\vee}(S_{\beta})}f_{\beta}), where fβ=fi⁡(β)−fj⁡(β)f_{\beta}=f_{i(\beta)}-f_{j(\beta)}, and var is the (positive) variation of the function along the gradient line.

The transversality condition for a sequence of objects of Fukaya-Oh category can be formulated similarly to the case of Fukaya category.

The reader can compare our considerations with those from [FuO]. The fibers of p∨p^{\vee} are “small” tori (of the size OPENO⁡(η))O(\eta)). The base YY is “large” (of the size of O⁡(1)O(1)). Hence, the Lagrangian manifolds are close to the zero section of p∨p^{\vee}. This is similar to the situation considered in [FuO]. Indeed, in [FuO] the authors study the A∞A_{\infty}-subcategory of F⁡(TY∗)F(T^{\ast}_{Y}) (where YY is an arbitrary smooth compact manifold), with the objects (L,ρ)(L,\rho) such that L=η​g​r​a​p​h​(d​f)L=\eta\,graph(df), f:Y→𝐑f:Y\to{{\bf R}} is a smooth function. In other words, they considered Lagrangian sections of the natural projection TY∗→YT^{\ast}_{Y}\to Y, which are close to the zero section. When η→0\eta\to 0, pseudo-holomorphic discs get “stretched” along the fibers of p∨p^{\vee}. Thus they look like the surfaces SS described above. Then the higher compositions of the Fukaya category “approach” the compositions mkF​O​(X∨,ω)m_{k}^{FO(X^{\vee},\omega)}. This was proved in [FuO] in the case when X∨X^{\vee} was replaced by TY∗T^{\ast}_{Y}. Considerations from [FuO] apply in our case as well.

Remark 14

One can extend the Fukaya-Oh category considering Lagrangian submanifolds in X∨X^{\vee} which are not necessarily unramified coverings of YY. For example, one can try to add to F​O​(X∨)FO(X^{\vee}) new objects which are local systems on Lagrangian tori which are fibers of the projection p∨:X∨→Yp^{\vee}:X^{\vee}\to Y. It seems that with these objects one can go much further than with transversal ones. For example, in the general case of torus fibrations with singular fibers, one can argue that for almost any y∈Yy\in Y there is no limiting holomorphic discs with the boundary in the torus (p∨)−1​(y)(p^{\vee})^{-1}(y) . The set of such points yy is the complement to a countable union ZZ of hypersurfaces in YY (this follows from the fact that d​i​m​(Ys​i​n​g)=d​i​m​(Y)−2dim(Y^{sing})=dim(Y)-2). Thus, we get a large collection of honest objects without the parasitic composition m0m_{0}. The total picture seems to be quite intricate, as examples show that the subset ZZ is everywhere dense. Presumably, it is related with some mysterious non-abelian 11-cocycle which we will discuss later in the remark in section 7.1.
