Abstract
We introduce new pseudo-metrics on spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ by considering areas associated to projecting Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{C} \times M$ to the “time-energy plane” $\mathbb{C}$. We investigate the non-degeneracy properties of these pseudo-metrics, reflecting the rigidity and flexibility aspects of Lagrangian cobordisms.
