Compact first-cohomology obstruction to a Lagrangian fibration

ID: compact-first-cohomology-obstruction-to-a-lagrangian-fibration

A compact Lagrangian submanifold with vanishing first de Rham cohomology cannot be a fibre of a smooth positive-dimensional fiber bundle whose nearby fibres are also Lagrangian submanifolds. In a Weinstein neighborhood, nearby fibres are one-form graphs of closed forms. They are exact by the cohomology assumption, so meet the zero section at a critical point of their potential, contradicting disjointness of distinct fibres.
