Abstract
Let $n>3$, and let $L$ be a Lagrangian embedding of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ into the cotangent bundle $T^{\ast }\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that agrees with the cotangent fiber $T_{x}^{\ast }\mathbb{R}^{n}$ over a point $x\neq 0$ outside a compact set. Assume that $L$ is disjoint from the cotangent fiber at the origin. The projection of $L$ to the base extends to a map of the $n$-sphere $S^{n}$ into $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus \{0\}$. We show that this map is homotopically trivial, answering a question of Eliashberg. We give a number of generalizations of this result, including homotopical constraints on embedded Lagrangian disks in the complement of another Lagrangian submanifold, and on two-component links of immersed Lagrangian spheres with one double point in $T^{\ast }\mathbb{R}^{n}$, under suitable dimension and Maslov index hypotheses. The proofs combine techniques from Ekholm and Smith [Exact Lagrangian immersions with a single double point, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 29 (2016), 1–59] and Ekholm and Smith [Exact Lagrangian immersions with one double point revisited, Math. Ann. 358 (2014), 195–240] with symplectic field theory.
