Lagrangian cobordism induces a preorder on the set of Legendrian links in any contact 3-manifold. We show that any finite collection of null-homologous Legendrian links in a tight contact 3-manifold with a common rotation number has an…

For an exact symplectic manifold $M$ and a Legendrian submanifold $\Lambda$ of the contactification $M\times \mathbb{R}$, we construct the augmentation category (over a field of characteristic 2), a unital $A_\infty$-category whose objects…

We investigate positive braid Legendrian links via a Floer-theoretic approach and prove that their augmentation varieties are cluster K2 (aka. A-) varieties. Using the exact Lagrangian cobordisms of Legendrian links in [EHK16], we prove…

In this paper, we consider exact Lagrangian cobordisms and the map they induce on the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGAs of their Legendrian ends as defined by Ekholm, Honda, and Kalman. Specifically, we show how to adapt this map to linearizations…

In this paper, we present new obstructions to the existence of Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that depend only on the enriched knot diagrams of the boundary knots or links, using holomorphic curve techniques. We define enriched…

We define an invariant of Legendrian links in the double-point enhanced grid homology of a link, and prove that it obstructs decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms in the symplectization of the standard contact structure on $\mathbb R^3$.

Embedded Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds are produced from isotopy, spinning, and handle attachment constructions that employ the technique of generating families. Moreover, any Legendrian with a generating family has…

We strengthen the link between holomorphic and generating-function invariants of Legendrian knots by establishing a formula relating the number of augmentations of a knot's contact homology to the complete ruling invariant of Chekanov and…

Let L be a Legendrian knot in R^3 with the standard contact structure. In [10], a map was constructed from equivalence classes of Morse complex sequences for L, which are combinatorial objects motivated by generating families, to homotopy…

Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian knots arise in Symplectic Field Theory and impose an interesting and not well-understood relation on Legendrian knots. There are some known "elementary" building blocks for Lagrangian cobordisms that…

For a given $g>0$, we construct a family of non-decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms of genus $g$ between (stabilized) Legendrian knots in the standard contact three-sphere. The main technique we use to obstruct decomposability is based on…

This is the second in a sequence of papers in which we construct Chekanov-Eliashberg algebras for Legendrians in circle-fibered contact manifolds and study the associated augmentation varieties. In this part, we first define the…

We construct an explicit combinatorial model of the functor which adds right adjoints to the morphisms of an $\infty$-category, and we speculate on possible extensions to higher dimensions.

If a Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ in the standard contact 3-sphere bounds an orientable exact Lagrangian surface $\Sigma$ in the standard symplectic 4-ball, then the genus of $\Sigma$ is equal to the slice genus of (the smooth knot underlying)…

We show that the set of augmentations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of a Legendrian link underlies the structure of a unital A-infinity category. This differs from the non-unital category constructed in [BC], but is related to it in…
