Knot types of Lagrangian intersections and epimorphisms between knot groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Lagrangian intersections in symplectic manifolds have been studied from various perspectives. In recent years, several works have also investigated the knot types of Lagrangian intersections.

In this talk, we discuss a problem posed by Okamoto. Starting from a knot in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space, we move its conormal bundle in the cotangent bundle by a compactly supported Hamiltonian isotopy. When its intersection with the zero-section is connected and clean, it gives rise to another knot. We ask how the knot type of this new knot is related to that of the original one.

I will explain a new constraint on this problem obtained by using microlocal sheaf theory, in terms of the fundamental groups of knot complements. This talk is based on joint work with Yukihiro Okamoto (Tokyo Metropolitan University).
