Almost Lagrangian obstruction

The aim of this paper is to describe the obstruction for an almost Lagrangian fibration to be Lagrangian, a problem which is central to the classification of Lagrangian fibrations and, more generally, to understanding the obstructions to carry out surgery of integrable systems, an idea introduced in Zung (2003) [16]. It is shown that this obstruction (namely, the homomorphism DD of Dazord and Delzant (1987) [4] and Zung (2003) [16]) is related to the cup product in cohomology with local coefficients on the base space B of the fibration. The map is described explicitly and some explicit examples are calculated, thus providing the first examples of non-trivial Lagrangian obstructions.
