Cotangent bundle 2026-09-24
The cotangent bundle has the canonical one-form and the canonical symplectic form up to a conventional sign. Its zero section is a Lagrangian submanifold.

The Weinstein neighborhood theorem states that if is a compact Lagrangian submanifold of , then neighborhoods of in and of the zero section in its cotangent bundle are symplectomorphic. The symplectomorphism restricts to the identity on , and the canonical form on is taken with the sign matching the chosen convention.
Symplectic surface 2026-09-24
A symplectic surface is a two-dimensional symplectic manifold. Every embedded curve in it is a Lagrangian submanifold.
Weinstein neighborhood theorem 2026-09-24
A neighborhood of a compact Lagrangian submanifold is symplectomorphic, by a map restricting to the identity on , to a neighborhood of the zero section in , with the sign chosen to match the convention for the canonical form.
