We consider S^1-families of Legendrian knots in the standard contact R^3. We define the monodromy of such a loop, which is an automorphism of the Chekanov-Eliashberg contact homology of the starting (and ending) point. We prove this…

We present examples of Legendrian knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that have linearized Legendrian contact homology over $\mathbb{Z}$ containing torsion. As a consequence, we show that there exist augmentations of Legendrian knots over $\mathbb{Z}$…

We give a classification of Legendrian torus links. Along the way, we give the first classification of infinite families of Legendrian links where some smooth symmetries of the link cannot be realized by Legendrian isotopies. We also give…

First, we show that conjugate Lagrangian fillings, associated to plabic graphs, and Lagrangian fillings obtained as Reeb pinching sequences are both Hamiltonian isotopic to Lagrangian projections of Legendrian weaves. In general, we…

To a Legendrian knot, one can associate an $\mathcal{A}_{\infty}$ category, the augmentation category. An exact Lagrangian cobordism between two Legendrian knots gives a functor of the augmentation categories of the two knots. We study the…

In this paper Legendrian graphs in $(\mathbb{R}^3,\xi_{\mathrm{st}})$ are considered modulo Legendrian isotopy and edge contraction. To a Legendrian graph we associate a (generalized) rectangular diagram --- a purely combinatorial object.…

This paper explores the relationship between the existence of an exact embedded Lagrangian filling for a Legendrian knot in the standard contact $\rr^3$ and the hierarchy of positive, strongly quasi-positive, and quasi-positive knots. On…

We investigate when a Legendrian knot in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$ has a non-orientable exact Lagrangian filling. We prove analogs of several results in the orientable setting, develop new combinatorial obstructions to fillability,…

We study some properties of decomposable exact Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the standard contact structure. In particular, for any decomposable exact Lagrangian filling $L$ of a Legendrian link $K$,…

For an embedded exact Lagrangian cobordism between Legendrian submanifolds in the 1-jet bundle, we prove that a generating family linear at infinity on the Legendrian at the negative end extends to a generating family linear at infinity on…

We construct positive loops of Legendrian submanifolds in several instances. In particular, we partially recover G. Liu's result stating that any loose Legendrian admits a positive loop, under some mild topological assumptions on the…

Graph rules for the linked cluster expansion of the Legendre effective action $\Gamma[\phi]$ are derived and proven in $D\geq 2$ Euclidean dimensions. A key aspect is the weight assigned to articulation vertices which is itself shown to be…
