A note on coherent orientations for exact Lagrangian cobordisms

Abstract: Let

L s u b s e t m a t h b b R i m e s J^{1} (M)

be a spin, exact Lagrangian cobordism in the symplectization of the 1-jet space of a smooth manifold

M

. Assume that

L

has cylindrical Legendrian ends

L a m b d a_{p} m s u b s e t J^{1} (M)

. It is well known that the Legendrian contact homology of

L a m b d a_{p} m

can be defined with integer coefficients, via a signed count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the cotangent bundle of

M

. It is also known that this count can be lifted to a mod 2 count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the symplectization

m a t h b b R i m e s J^{1} (M)

, and that

L

induces a morphism between the

m a t h b b Z_{2}

-valued DGA:s of the ends

L a m b d a_{p} m

in a functorial way. We prove that this hold with integer coefficients as well. The proofs are built on the technique of orienting the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic disks using capping operators at the Reeb chords. We give an expression for how the DGA:s change if we change the capping operators.

Summary: Let \(L \subset \mathbb{R} \times J^1(M)\) be a spin, exact Lagrangian cobordism in the symplectization of the 1-jet space of a smooth manifold \(M\). Assume that \(L\) has cylindrical Legendrian ends \(\Lambda_\pm \subset J^1(M)\). It is well known that the Legendrian contact homology of \(\Lambda_\pm\) can be defined with integer coefficients, via a signed count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the cotangent bundle of \(M\). It is also known that this count can be lifted to a mod 2 count of pseudo-holomorphic disks in the symplectization \(\mathbb{R} \times J^1(M)\), and that \(L\) induces a morphism between the \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-valued DGA:s of the ends \(\Lambda_\pm\) in a functorial way. We prove that this hold with integer coefficients as well. The proofs are built on the technique of orienting the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic disks using capping operators at the Reeb chords. We give an expression for how the DGA:s change if we change the capping operators.
