Abstract:

In joint work with J. Solomon, we introduce the degenerate special Lagrangian equation and develop the basic analytic tools to construct and study its solutions. This equation governs geodesics in the space of positive Lagrangians. It has intriguing relations to uniqueness, existence and stability notions related to special Lagrangians, Lagrangian mean curvature flow, the topology of Hamiltonian isotopy classes, and the Arnold conjecture.
