I will explain how to define a new class of "C^0 Lagrangians" in a cotangent bundle, that we call "bare Lagrangian branes", and that arise as Hausdorff limits of exact Lagrangian submanifolds with control on their Liouville primitives. I will address some rigidity and flexibility questions for such objects: if a bare Lagrangian brane is smooth, is it an exact Lagrangian brane? When does a bare Lagrangian brane admit a unique primitive (up to an additive constant)? The answer to this last question provides us with a lower regularity version of Arnaud's multidimensional Birkhoff theorem: if the support of a bare Lagrangian brane admitting a unique primitive is fixed by the time-1 flow of a Tonelli Hamiltonian, then it is a Lipschitz graph over the base. This is based on joint work with Skander Charfi. The talk is complementary to Charfi's talk on November 2, but no previous knowledge will be assumed.
