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.
A Lagrangian complement to in is identified with by . This produces a vector bundle isomorphism that is the identity on and carries the canonical pairing to . A suitably chosen tubular neighborhood map therefore matches the ambient two-forms along , enabling the relative Moser theorem.
If a compact Lagrangian has , every sufficiently close Lagrangian graph is the graph of and meets the zero section at least at a maximum and a minimum of . Without the cohomology assumption, a nowhere-zero closed one-form can give a disjoint nearby graph.
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.
