The Chekanov-Eliashberg dg-algebra is a holomorphic curve invariant associated to Legendrian submanifolds of a contact manifold. We extend the definition to Legendrian embeddings of skeleta of Weinstein manifolds. Via Legendrian surgery, the new definition gives direct proofs of wrapped Floer cohomology push-out diagrams. It also leads to a proof of a conjectured isomorphism between partially wrapped Floer cohomology and Chekanov-Eliashberg dg-algebras with coefficients in chains on the based loop space.
We apply the barcodes of persistent homology theory to the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of a Legendrian submanifold to deduce displacement energy bounds for arbitrary Legendrians. We do not require the full Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra to admit an augmentation as we linearize the algebra only below a certain action level. As an application we show that it is not possible to $C^0$-approximate a stabilized Legendrian by a Legendrian that admits an augmentation.
Arboreal singularities are an important class of Lagrangian singularities. They are conical, meaning that they can be understood by studying their links, which are singular Legendrian spaces in $S^{2n-1}_{text{std}}$. Loose Legendrians are a class of Legendrian spaces which satisfy an $h$--principle, meaning that their geometric classification is in bijective correspondence with their topological types. For the particular case of the linear arboreal singularities, we show that constructable sheaves suffice to detect whether any closed set of an arboreal link is loose.
We study homotopically non-trivial spheres of Legendrians in the standard contact R3 and S3. We prove that there is a homotopy injection of the contactomorphism group of S3 into some connected components of the space of Legendrians induced by the natural action. We also provide examples of loops of Legendrians that are non-trivial in the space of formal Legendrians, and thus non-trivial as loops of Legendrians, but which are trivial as loops of smooth embeddings for all the smooth knot types.
Let TA denote the space underlying the tensor algebra of a vector space A. In this short note, we show that if A is a differential graded algebra, then TA is a differential Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Moreover, if A is an A-infinity algebra, then TA is a commutative BV-infinity algebra.
In this paper, we introduce and study differential graded (DG for short) polynomial algebras. In brief, a DG polynomial algebra $mathcal{A}$ is a connected cochain DG algebra such that its underlying graded algebra $mathcal{A}^{#}$ is a polynomial algebra $mathbb{k}[x_1,x_2,cdots, x_n]$ with $|x_i|=1$, for any $iin {1,2,cdots, n}$. We describe all possible differential structures on DG polynomial algebras; compute their DG automorphism groups; study their isomorphism problems; and show that they are all homologically smooth and Gorestein DG algebras. Furthermore, it is proved that the DG polynomial algebra $mathcal{A}$ is a Calabi-Yau DG algebra when its differential $partial_{mathcal{A}} eq 0$ and the trivial DG polynomial algebra $(mathcal{A}, 0)$ is Calabi-Yau if and only if $n$ is an odd integer.
