Let $\phi : S^1\times D^2\to S^1$ be the natural projection. An oriented knot $K\hookrightarrow V = S^1\times D^2$ is called an almost closed braid if the restriction of $\phi$ to K has exactly two (non-degenerate) critical points (and K is…

Any link that is the closure of a positive braid has a natural Legendrian representative. These were introduced in an earlier paper, where their Chekanov--Eliashberg contact homology was also evaluated. In this paper we re-phrase and…

We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl(2) and sl(3) and by…

An exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in the symplectization of standard contact $(2n-1)$-space with Legendrian boundary $\Sigma$ can be glued to itself along $\Sigma$. This gives a Legendrian embedding $\Lambda(L,L)$ of the double of $L$…

We give a conjectural formula for sheaves supported on (irreducible) conormal varieties inside the cotangent bundle of the Grassmannian, such that their equivariant $K$-class is given by the partition function of an integrable loop model,…

We give a treatment of relative Calabi--Yau structures on functors between $R$-linear stable $\infty$-categories, with $R$ any $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring spectrum, generalizing previous treatments in the setting of dg-categories. Using their…

We study topological D-branes of type B in N=2 Landau-Ginzburg models, focusing on the case where all vacua have a mass gap. In general, tree-level topological string theory in the presence of topological D-branes is described…

For a stably framed Liouville manifold X , we construct a "Donaldson-Fukaya category over the sphere spectrum" F(X; S). The objects are closed exact Lagrangians whose Gauss maps are nullhomotopic compatibly with the ambient stable framing,…

For every oriented surface of finite type, we construct a functorial Khovanov homology for links in a thickening of the surface, which takes values in a categorification of the corresponding gl(2) skein module. The latter is a mild…

We construct an unwrapped Floer theory for bundles of Liouville sectors. In particular, we construct a compatible collection of unwrapped Fukaya categories of fibers of a Liouville bundle, and prove that the two natural constructions of…

This is the second in a series of papers dedicated to studying w-knots, and more generally, w-knotted objects (w-braids, w-tangles, etc.). These are classes of knotted objects that are wider but weaker than their "usual" counterparts. To…

We develop the theory of geometric Eisenstein series and constant term functors for $\ell$-adic sheaves on stacks of bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. In particular, we prove essentially optimal finiteness theorems for these functors,…

A conjecture of Aganagic and Vafa relates the open Gromov-Witten theory of $X=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{1}}(-1,-1)$ to the augmentation polynomial of Legendrian contact homology. We describe how to use this conjecture to compute genus zero,…

We define a new class of symplectic objects called "stops", which roughly speaking are Liouville hypersurfaces in the boundary of a Liouville domain. Locally, these can be viewed as pages of a compatible open book. To a Liouville domain…

We study an $A_\infty$ category associated to Legendrian links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose objects are $n$-dimensional representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the link. This representation category generalizes…

Given a symplectic manifold M, we consider a category with objects finite ordered families of Lagrangian submanifolds of M (subject to certain additional constraints) and with morphisms Lagrangian cobordisms relating them. We construct a…

Kauffman virtual knots are knots in thickened surfaces $F\times R$ considered up to isotopy, stabilizations and destabilizations, and diffeomorphisms of $F\times R$ induced by orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of $F$. Similarly,…

In this paper we show that the six functor formalism for sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces, as developed for example in Kashiwara and Schapira's book Sheaves on Manifolds, can be extended to sheaves with values in any…

This is the first in a series of papers studying w-knotted objects (w-knots, w-braids, w-tangles, etc.), which make a class of knotted objects which is {w}ider but {w}eaker than their usual counterparts. The group of w-braids was studied…

In this note, we define a new invariant of a Legendrian knot in a contact manifold using an open book decomposition supporting the contact structure. We define the support genus sg(L) of a Legendrian knot L in a contact 3-manifold (M, \xi)…
