The Fukaya A∞ algebra of a non-orientable Lagrangian
Abstract
Let L⊂ X be a not necessarily orientable relatively Pin Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic manifold X. We construct a family of cyclic unital curved A∞ structures on differential forms on L with values in the local system of graded non-commutative rings given by the tensor algebra of the orientation local system of L. The family of A∞ structures is parameterized by the cohomology of X relative to L and satisfies properties analogous to the axioms of Gromov-Witten theory. On account of the non-orientability of L, the evaluation maps of moduli spaces of J-holomorphic disks with boundary in L may not be relatively orientable. To deal with this problem, we use recent results on orientor calculus.
