The combinatorial model conjecture for sutured Legendrian contact homology

Let Λ(Σ×R,ξΓ)\Lambda \subset (\Sigma \times \mathbb{R}, \xi_\Gamma) be a Legendrian knot. Let Y(Σ,Γ)Σ×RY(\Sigma, \Gamma) \subset \Sigma \times \mathbb{R} be the convex sutured contact manifold associated to (Σ,Γ)(\Sigma, \Gamma) such that ΛY(Σ,Γ)\Lambda \subset Y(\Sigma, \Gamma). Denote by Ared(Y,Λ)\mathcal{A}_{\text{red}}(Y, \Lambda) the sutured Legendrian contact homology differential graded algebra and by A^\widehat{\mathcal{A}} the combinatorially defined differential graded algebra constructed in this paper. Combinatorial model conjecture. The dg-algebra Ared(Y,Λ)\mathcal{A}_{\text{red}}(Y, \Lambda) is quasi-isomorphic to A^\widehat{\mathcal{A}}. The conjecture would identify the analytic sutured Legendrian contact homology algebra with the proposed combinatorial model; the preceding discussion notes that the differential on the generators associated to Γ\Gamma may differ from the actual symplectic-field-theoretic differential because certain holomorphic curves are not currently conceptually excluded.
