A note on coherent orientations for exact Lagrangian cobordisms
Abstract
Let be a spin, exact Lagrangian cobordism in the symplectization of the 1-jet space of a smooth manifold . Assume that has cylindrical Legendrian ends . It is well known that the Legendrian contact homology of can be defined with integer coefficients, via a signed count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the cotangent bundle of . It is also known that this count can be lifted to a mod 2 count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the symplectization , and that induces a morphism between the -valued DGA:s of the ends in a functorial way. We prove that this hold with integer coefficients as well. The proofs are built on the technique of orienting the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic disks using capping operators at the Reeb chords. We give an expression for how the DGA:s change if we change the capping operators.
