Sheaves via augmentations of Legendrian surfaces

Abstract

Given an augmentation for a Legendrian surface in a 1-jet space, $$\Lambda \subset J^1(M)$$ , we explicitly construct an object, $$\mathcal {F} \in \mathbf {Sh}^\bullet _{\Lambda }(M\times \mathbb {R}, \mathbb {K})$$ , of the (derived) category from Shende, Treumann and Zaslow (Invent Math 207(3), 1031–1133 (2017)) of constructible sheaves on $$M\times \mathbb {R}$$ with singular support determined by $$\Lambda $$ . In the construction, we introduce a simplicial Legendrian DGA (differential graded algebra) for Legendrian submanifolds in 1-jet spaces that, based on Rutherford and Sullivan (Cellular Legendrian contact homology for surfaces, Part I, arXiv:1608.02984 .) Rutherford and Sullivan (Internat J Math 30(7):135, 2019) Rutherford and Sullivan (Internat J Math 30(7):111, 2019), is equivalent to the Legendrian contact homology DGA in the case of Legendrian surfaces. In addition, we extend the approach of Shende, Treumann and Zaslow (Invent Math 207(3), 1031–1133 (2017)) for 1-dimensional Legendrian knots to obtain a combinatorial model for sheaves in $$\mathbf {Sh}^\bullet _{\Lambda }(M\times \mathbb {R}, \mathbb {K})$$ in the 2-dimensional case.
