Index bounded relative symplectic cohomology

TL;DR
This work develops a computational framework for relative symplectic cohomology $SH_M(D)$ of a Liouville domain $D$ in a Calabi–Yau manifold $M$ by introducing index-bounded boundary conditions and a filtration on the completed Floer telescope. It constructs a spectral sequence that starts at the classical symplectic cohomology $SH(D;\Lambda_E)$ and converges to $SH_M(D;\Lambda_E)$; in the integral lift case, the spectral sequence collapses when $[\tilde{\omega}]$ vanishes on $H_2(M,D)$. The approach leverages lower semi-continuous Hamiltonians, the $S$-shape Hamiltonians in cylindrical regions, and an Abouzaid–Seidel-type maximum principle to isolate contributions from inside $D$, enabling explicit computations and applications such as non-displaceability results for Weinstein neighborhoods of simply-connected Lagrangians. The framework also extends to perturbations of Morse–Bott Reeb orbits, providing a robust method to handle degenerate boundary dynamics and to study local-to-global displacement phenomena in Calabi–Yau settings.
Abstract
We study the relative symplectic cohomology with the help of an index bounded contact form. For a Liouville domain with an index bounded boundary, we construct a spectral sequence which starts from its classical symplectic cohomology and converges to the relative symplectic cohomology of it inside a Calabi-Yau manifold.
