A counterexample to the nearby Lagrangian conjecture
We disprove the unrestricted nearby Lagrangian conjecture. For some sufficiently large even integer N, we construct a closed exact smoothly embedded Lagrangian in T^*(S^9× S^{N-1}) that is diffeomorphic to the base but is not Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero section.
