Description
Summary:In this paper, we study Lagrangian correspondences between Hilbert spaces. A main focus is on the question of when the composition of two Lagrangian correspondences is again Lagrangian. Our answer leads in particular to a well-defined composition law in a category of Lagrangian correspondences respecting given polarizations of the Hilbert spaces involved. As an application, we construct a functorial field theory on geometric spin manifolds with values in this category of Lagrangian correspondences, which can be viewed as a formal Wick rotation of the theory associated with a free fermionic particle in a curved spacetime.
