Abstract
For any Legendrian knot or link in , we construct an algebra that can be viewed as an extension of the Chekanov–Eliashberg differential graded algebra. The structure incorporates information from rational symplectic field theory and can be formulated combinatorially. One consequence is the construction of a Poisson bracket on commutative Legendrian contact homology, and we show that the resulting Poisson algebra is an invariant of Legendrian links under isotopy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Topology publishes papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry and adjacent areas of mathematics. Interesting, important and often unexpected links connect topology and geometry with many other parts of mathematics, and the editors welcome submissions on exciting new advances concerning such links, as well as those in the core subject areas of the journal.
The Journal of Topology was founded in 2008. It is published quarterly with articles published individually online prior to appearing in a printed issue.
