Continuity of the Solomon functional
Inside Stein manifolds, the Solomon functional can be defined for any Lagrangian with potential which is homologous to , without further Floer theoretic inputs: the formula (20) makes sense after choosing any bordism current with in the sense of currents, and the choice does not matter.
Lemma 5.8.
(Continuity of the Solomon functional) All Lagrangians are assumed to be contained in a fixed bounded region of , homologous to , and are quantitatively almost calibrated. Suppse is a sequence of Lagrangian integral currents with potential , such that in the flat norm, and converge to as currents, then the Solomon functionals converge: .
Proof.
Since converges to as currents,
It suffices to justify where , and .
Now the flat norm convergence gives for some integral currents , with . Since , the homology class of is zero. A version of the isoperimetric theorem (cf. Prop. 5.11 below) then says with . Without loss of generality we absorb into . Then we can simply choose , which is legitimate since it satisfies . The claim follows by
