Lagrangian embeddings and critical point theory. (English) Zbl 0591.58009

The work contains a proof of Arnol’d’s conjecture on Lagrangian intersections: an exact Lagrangian embedding \(M\to T^*M\) which is Lagrangially isotopic to zero section intersects it in at least c(M) different points, where c(M) is the Lyusternik-Shnirel’man category of M.
