Gaiotto’s Lagrangian Subvarieties via Derived Symplectic Geometry

Abstract

Let BunG be the moduli space of G-bundles on a smooth complex projective curve. Motivated by a study of boundary conditions in mirror symmetry, Gaiotto (2016) associated to any symplectic representation of G a Lagrangian subvariety of T∗BunG. We give a simple interpretation of (a generalization of) Gaiotto’s construction in terms of derived symplectic geometry. This allows to consider a more general setting where symplectic G-representations are replaced by arbitrary symplectic manifolds equipped with a Hamiltonian G-action and with an action of the multiplicative group that rescales the symplectic form with positive weight.
