The string homology–Legendrian contact homology correspondence for conormal bundles

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let KK be a compact oriented submanifold of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let ΛK\Lambda_K denote its unit conormal bundle in UT∗RnUT^*\mathbb{R}^n. Let H∗string(Rn,K)H^{\mathrm{string}}_*(\mathbb{R}^n,K) be the string homology algebra associated with (Rn,K)(\mathbb{R}^n,K).

String homology–Legendrian contact homology conjecture. For any compact oriented submanifold KK in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, H∗string(Rn,K)H^{\mathrm{string}}_*(\mathbb{R}^n,K) is isomorphic to the Legendrian contact homology of (UT∗Rn,ΛK)(UT^*\mathbb{R}^n,\Lambda_K) with coefficients in R\mathbb{R}.

This conjecture proposes a direct identification between the topological string homology invariant and Legendrian contact homology for unit conormal bundles, extending the known relationship between the cord algebra and degree-zero Legendrian contact homology in the knot case.
