Legendrian contact homology in the boundary of a subcritical Weinstein 4-manifold

Abstract: We give a combinatorial description of the Legendrian contact homology algebra associated to a Legendrian link in S 1 × S 2 or any connected sum # k (S 1 × S 2 ), viewed as the contact boundary of the Weinstein manifold obtained by attaching 1-handles to the 4-ball. In view of the surgery formula for symplectic homology [5], this gives a combinatorial description of the symplectic homology of any 4-dimensional Weinstein manifold (and of the linearized contact homology of its boundary). We also study examples a… Show more

“…While this strategy has been carried out in interesting examples (see e.g. [BEE2,BEE1,EN,EL]) and remains a remarkably effective tool for identifying instances when SH * (X) vanishes, general computations can run into two difficult issues: computing the relevant open-string invariant (a process that in some cases can be combinatorialized), and computing its Hochschild invariants (which is known to be a difficult algebraic problem except in special circumstances). Also, realizing an affine variety as an explicit handlebody or calculating a skeleton may be challenging in practice, though there is some work to systematize the process [CM1].…”

“…In order to give a combinatorial description of the Chekanov-Eliashberg's Legendrian DG-algebra ( [7,13]) associated with a Legendrian link L ⊂ # k (S 1 × S 2 ) given in Gompf's standard form, Ekholm and Ng [12] described a procedure called resolution (analogous to the resolution of a Legendrian in S 3 in [20]). We give an example in Figure 1 and refer the readers to the original references [15,12] for precise definitions. We next recall the description of the Legendrian DG-algebra, here denoted CE * (L), that Ekholm and Ng provide coming from a resolution diagram.…”

“…However, [14] and [15] recently outlined a proof of a surgery formula for symplectic (co)homology. Combining this with the very recent [26], one obtains a purely combinatorial description of symplectic cohomology of any 4-dimensional Weinstein manifold. (In the absence of 1-handles and when the coefficient field is Z 2 , one had [18] as a precursor to [26]).…”
