Abstract

The Gauss images of isoparametric hypersurfaces in the unit standard sphere provide compact minimal (thus monotone) Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in complex hyperquadrics. Recently we used the Floer homology and the lifted Floer homology for monotone Lagrangian submanifolds in order to study their Hamiltonian non-displaceability in our recent joint paper with Hiroshi Iriyeh, Hui Ma and Reiko Miyaoka. In this note we will explain the spectral sequences for the Floer homology and the lifted Floer homology of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds and their applications to the Gauss images of isoparametric hypersurfaces. They are the main technical part in our joint work. Moreover we will suggest some related open problems for further research.
