Lagrangian fields, Calabi functions, and local symplectic groupoids

Abstract

A Lagrangian field on a symplectic manifold $M$ is a family $\Lambda =\{{\Lambda }_x|x\in M\}$ of pointed Lagrangian submanifolds of $M$. This notion is a generalization of a real Lagrangian polarization for which each ${\Lambda }_x$ is the leaf containing $x$. Two Lagrangian fields $\Lambda$ and $\tilde{\Lambda }$ are called transversal if ${\Lambda }_x$ intersects ${\tilde{\Lambda }}_x$ transversally at $x$ for every $x$. Two transversal Lagrangian fields determine an almost para-Kähler structure on $M$. We construct a local symplectic groupoid on a neighborhood of the zero section of $T^{\ast }M$ from two transversal Lagrangian fields on $M$. The Lagrangian manifold of $n$-cycles of this groupoid in $(T^{\ast }M{)}^n$ has a generating function whose germ around the diagonal of $M^n$ is given by the $n$-point cyclic Calabi function of a closed (1,1)-form on a neighborhood of the diagonal of $M^2$ obtained from the symplectic form on $M$.
