Lagrangian cobordism in Lefschetz fibrations (1504.00922v2)

Abstract: Given a symplectic manifold $(M^{2n},\omega)$ we study Lagrangian cobordisms $V\subset E$ where $E$ is the total space of a Lefschetz fibration having $M$ as generic fiber. We prove a generation result for these cobordisms in the appropriate derived Fukaya category. As a corollary, we analyze the relations among the Lagrangian submanifolds $L\subset M$ that are induced by these cobordisms. This leads to a unified treatment - and a generalization - of the two types of relations among Lagrangian submanifolds of $M$ that were previously identified in the literature: those associated to Dehn twists that were discovered by Seidel and the relations induced by cobordisms in trivial symplectic fibrations described in our previous work.
