A counterexample to the nearby Lagrangian conjecture. Disproves the unrestricted nearby Lagrangian conjecture. For some sufficiently large even N, constructs a closed exact embedded Lagrangian in $T^*(S^9\times S^{N-1})$ that is diffeomorphic to the base but not Hamiltonian isotopic to its zero section.

We disprove the unrestricted nearby Lagrangian conjecture. For some sufficiently large even integer N, we construct a closed exact smoothly embedded Lagrangian in $T^*(S^9\times S^{N-1})$ that is diffeomorphic to the base but is not Hamiltonian isotopic to the zero section.
