Augmentations, Fillings, and Clusters

Abstract

We investigate positive braid Legendrian links via a Floer-theoretic approach and prove that their augmentation varieties are cluster K₂ (aka. \(\mathcal{A}\)-) varieties. Using the exact Lagrangian cobordisms of Legendrian links in Ekholm et al. (J. Eur. Math. Soc. 18(11):2627–2689, 2016), we prove that a large family of exact Lagrangian fillings of positive braid Legendrian links correspond to cluster seeds of their augmentation varieties. We solve the infinite-filling problem for positive braid Legendrian links; i.e., whenever a positive braid Legendrian link is not of type ADE, it admits infinitely many exact Lagrangian fillings up to Hamiltonian isotopy.
