Abstract

Consider a pair (X,L)(X,L), of a Weinstein manifold XX with an exact Lagrangian submanifold LL, with ideal contact boundary (Y,Λ)(Y,\Lambda), where YY is a contact manifold and ΛY\Lambda\subset Y is a Legendrian submanifold. We introduce the Chekanov-Eliashberg DG-algebra, CE(Λ)CE^{\ast}(\Lambda), with coefficients in chains of the based loop space of Λ\Lambda and study its relation to the Floer cohomology CF(L)CF^{\ast}(L) of LL. Using the augmentation induced by LL, CE(Λ)CE^{\ast}(\Lambda) can be expressed as the Adams cobar construction Ω\Omega applied to a Legendrian coalgebra, LC(Λ)LC_{\ast}(\Lambda). We define a twisting cochain:t ⁣:LC(Λ)B(CF(L))#\mathfrak{t} \colon LC_{\ast}(\Lambda) \to \mathrm{B} (CF^*(L))^\#via holomorphic curve counts, where B\mathrm{B} denotes the bar construction and #\# the graded linear dual. We show under simply-connectedness assumptions that the corresponding Koszul complex is acyclic which then implies that CE(Λ)CE^*(\Lambda) and CF(L)CF^{\ast}(L) are Koszul dual. In particular, t\mathfrak{t} induces a quasi-isomorphism between CE(Λ)CE^*(\Lambda) and the cobar of the Floer homology of LL, ΩCF(L)\Omega CF_*(L). We use the duality result to show that under certain connectivity and locally finiteness assumptions, CE(Λ)CE^*(\Lambda) is quasi-isomorphic to C(ΩL)C_{-*}(\Omega L) for any Lagrangian filling LL of Λ\Lambda. Our constructions have interpretations in terms of wrapped Floer cohomology after versions of Lagrangian handle attachments. In particular, we outline a proof that CE(Λ)CE^{\ast}(\Lambda) is quasi-isomorphic to the wrapped Floer cohomology of a fiber disk CC in the Weinstein domain obtained by attaching T(Λ×[0,))T^{\ast}(\Lambda\times[0,\infty)) to XX along Λ\Lambda (or, in the terminology of arXiv:1604.02540 the wrapped Floer cohomology of CC in XX with wrapping stopped by Λ\Lambda). Along the way, we give a definition of wrapped Floer cohomology without Hamiltonian perturbations.
