Abstract
This dissertation studies how symplectic homology of the complement of the smooth zero set $D$ of a section of a positive line bundle $\cL$ over a projective variety $(X, J)$ changes as $D$ degenerates to a normal crossing divisor $D_{\mbox{sing}}$ with two smooth connected components. By analyzing the pluri-subharmonic functions obtained from a metric on $\cL$, we show that the change in the Weinstein structure of the complement is characterized by handle removals along the unstable submanifolds of critical points in a small neighborhood of the set of singular points of $D_{\mbox{sing}}.$ Parallel to work by Bourgeois-Eckholm-Eliashberg (\cite{BEE}), we construct a chain complex from the removed unstable submanifolds such that its homology completes the Viterbo transfer map in a long exact sequence. The effect of divisor degeneration on symplectic homology of the complement is then essentially reflected by the $A_\infty$ structure of a collection of Lagrangian spheres on $D$, which are the boundary at infinity of the removed unstable submanifolds.
