Augmented Legendrian cobordism in J1S1
Abstract
We consider Legendrian links and tangles in J1S1 and J1[0,1] equipped with Morse complex families over a field F and classify them up to Legendrian cobordism. When the coefficient field is F2 this provides a cobordism classification for Legendrians equipped with augmentations of the Legendrian contact homology DG-algebras. A complete set of invariants, for which arbitrary values may be obtained, is provided by the fiber cohomology, a graded monodromy matrix, and a mod 2 spin number. We apply the classification to construct augmented Legendrian surfaces in J1M with M = 2 realizing any prescribed monodromy representation, :π1(M,x0) → GL(n, F).
