This paper shows that there are symplectic four-manifolds M with the following property: a single isotopy class of smooth embedded two-spheres in M contains infinitely many Lagrangian submanifolds, no two of which are isotopic as Lagrangian submanifolds. The examples are constructed using a special class of symplectic automorphisms ("generalized Dehn twists"). The proof uses Floer homology.

Lagrangian two-spheres can be symplectically knotted

We use cluster structures and mirror symmetry to explicitly describe a natural class of Newton-Okounkov bodies for Grassmannians. We consider the Grassmannian $X=Gr_{n-k}(\mathbb C^n)$, as well as the mirror dual Landau-Ginzburg model $(\check{X}^\circ, W_q:\check{X}^\circ \to \mathbb C)$, where $\check{X}^\circ$ is the complement of a particular anti-canonical divisor in a Langlands dual Grassmannian $\check{X} = Gr_k((\mathbb C^n)^*)$, and the superpotential W_q has a simple expression in terms of Pl\"ucker coordinates. Grassmannians simultaneously have the structure of an $\mathcal{A}$-cluster variety and an $\mathcal{X}$-cluster variety. Given a cluster seed G, we consider two associated coordinate systems: a $\mathcal X$-cluster chart $\Phi_G:(\mathbb C^*)^{k(n-k)}\to X^{\circ}$ and a $\mathcal A$-cluster chart $\Phi_G^{\vee}:(\mathbb C^*)^{k(n-k)}\to \check{X}^\circ$. To each $\mathcal X$-cluster chart $\Phi_G$ and ample `boundary divisor' $D$ in $X\setminus X^{\circ}$, we associate a Newton-Okounkov body $\Delta_G(D)$ in $\mathbb R^{k(n-k)}$, which is defined as the convex hull of rational points. On the other hand using the $\mathcal A$-cluster chart $\Phi_G^{\vee}$ on the mirror side, we obtain a set of rational polytopes, described by inequalities, by writing the superpotential $W_q$ in the $\mathcal A$-cluster coordinates, and then "tropicalising". Our main result is that the Newton-Okounkov bodies $\Delta_G(D)$ and the polytopes obtained by tropicalisation coincide. As an application, we construct degenerations of the Grassmannian to toric varieties corresponding to these Newton-Okounkov bodies. Additionally, when $G$ corresponds to a plabic graph, we give a formula for the lattice points of the Newton-Okounkov bodies, which has an interpretation in terms of quantum Schubert calculus.

Newton-Okounkov bodies, cluster duality, and mirror symmetry for Grassmannians

Kontsevich and Soibelman defined Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a 3d Calabi-Yau category equipped with a stability condition. Any cluster variety gives rise to a family of such categories. Their DT invariants are encapsulated in a single formal automorphism of the cluster variety, called the DT-transformation. 
Let S be an oriented surface with punctures, and a finite number of special points on the boundary considered modulo isotopy. It give rise to a moduli space X(m, S), closely related to the moduli space of PGL(m)-local systems on S, which carries a canonical cluster Poisson variety structure. For each puncture of S, there is a birational Weyl group action on the space X(m, S). We prove that it is given by cluster Poisson transformations. We prove a similar result for the involution * of the space X(m,S) provided by dualising a local system on S. 
We calculate the DT-transformation of the moduli space X(m,S), with few exceptions. Namely, let C(m,S) be the transformation of the space X(m,S) given by the product of three commuting maps: the involution *, the product, over all punctures of S, of the longest element of the Weyl group action corresponding to the puncture, and the "shift of the special points on the boundary by one" map. Using a characterisation of a class of DT-transformations due to Keller, we prove that C(m,S) = DT. 
We prove that, burring few exceptions, the Weyl group and the involution * act by cluster transformations of the dual moduli space A(m, S). So the formula C(m,S) = DT is valid for the space A(m,S). 
Our main result, combined with the work of Gross, Hacking, Keel and Kontsevich, deliver a canonical basis in the space of regular functions on the cluster variety X(m,S), and in the upper cluster algebra with principal coefficients related to the pair (SL(m), S), with few exceptions.

We prove that all maximal-tb Legendrian torus links (n,m) in the standard contact 3-sphere, except for (2,m),(3,3),(3,4) and (3,5), admit infinitely many Lagrangian fillings in the standard symplectic 4-ball. This is proven by constructing infinite order Lagrangian concordances which induce faithful actions of the modular group PSL(2,Z) and the mapping class group M(0,4) into the coordinate rings of algebraic varieties associated to Legendrian links. Our results imply that there exist Lagrangian concordance monoids with subgroups of exponential-growth, and yield Stein surfaces homotopic to a 2-sphere with infinitely many distinct exact Lagrangian surfaces of higher-genus. We also show that there exist infinitely many satellite and hyperbolic knots with Legendrian representatives admitting infinitely many exact Lagrangian fillings.

Infinitely many Lagrangian fillings

Maximal green sequences appear in the study of Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras. They are useful for computing refined Donaldson-Thomas invariants, constructing twist automorphisms and proving the existence of theta bases and generic bases. We survey recent progress on their existence and properties and give a representation-theoretic proof of Greg Muller's theorem stating that full subquivers inherit maximal green sequences. In the appendix, Laurent Demonet describes maximal chains of torsion classes in terms of bricks generalizing a theorem by Igusa.

We prove that any positive braid Legendrian link not isotopic to a standard finite type link admits infinitely many exact Lagrangian fillings.

Positive Braid Links with Infinitely Many Fillings

Double Bruhat cells $G^{u,v}$ were studied by Fomin and Zelevinsky. They provide important examples of cluster algebras and cluster Poisson varieties. Cluster varieties produce examples of 3d Calabi-Yau categories with stability conditions, and their Donaldson-Thomas invariants, defined by Kontsevich and Soibelman, are encoded by a formal automorphism on the cluster variety known as the Donaldson-Thomas transformation. Goncharov and Shen conjectured in that for any semisimple Lie group $G$, the Donaldson-Thomas transformation of the cluster Poisson variety $H\backslash G^{u,v}/H$ is a slight modification of Fomin and Zelevinsky's twist map. In this paper we prove this conjecture, using crucially Fock and Goncharov's cluster ensembles and the amalgamation construction. Our result, combined with the work of Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich, proves the duality conjecture of Fock and Goncharov in the case of $H\backslash G^{u,v}/H$.

Donaldson-Thomas Transformation of Grassmannian

Kontsevich and Soibelman defined the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a 3d Calabi-Yau category with a stability condition. Any cluster variety can produce an example of such a category, whose corresponding Donaldson-Thomas invariants are encoded by a special formal automorphism of the cluster variety, known as the Donaldson-Thomas transformation. 
In this paper we prove a conjecture of Goncharov and Shen in the case of $\mathrm{GL}_n$, which describes the Donaldson-Thomas transformation of the double quotient of the double Bruhat cells $H \backslash \mathrm{GL}_n^{u,v}/H$ where $H$ is a maximal torus, as a certain explicit cluster transformation related to Fomin-Zelevinsky's twist map. Our result, combined with the work of Gross, Hacking, Keel, and Kontsevich, proves the duality conjecture of Fock and Goncharov in the case of $H\backslash \mathrm{GL}_n^{u,v}/H$.
