Pavel Putrov came and give a talk, about Kapustin-Witten equation.

Witten's path integral

What does Witten want to do? Analyltic continuation of Chern-Simons.

We want to get finite dimensional approximation. Intersection of holomorphic Lagrangian in a Hitchin system. Then, we do Floer theory. Or, should I do holomorphic Floer theory?

What do they have, and what do they want? What is this Z-hat business?

About cluster mutation and skein relation

I need some more input from Mathias, maybe.

What's the problem? OK, you found the interpolation Lagrangian, that connects the torus. The whole space have geometry like S1×I×IS^1 \times I \times I. It is a non-exact Lagrangian with two exact Legendrian ends, both Legendrian are torus.

One puzzle is that: if this is the whole picture, then the story is trivial. The setup is too local to have interesting invariant.

What did STW teach me:

  • There are some co-oriented circles on the surface, where we attach disks.
  • There are ways to mutate these disks, and know how the other circles mutate.
  • The cluster transformation rule, seems to be about cluster x-variable? since the co-orientation get changed. Here, we do need to compare a bit with the old surface, so let's compare.

What is the 'augmentation variety'? What is the character variety? The input is some smooth Legendrian LL in some contact manifold MM. Suppose M=TXM = T^\infty X, and L=FL = F^\infty, for some Lagrangian FF,like, we had fillings. Then, we can ask how does linking disk to LL wrap to each other with LL as the stop? That's the Legendrian DGA for LL, in the Weinstein-filled contact manifold.

On the other hand, we can pass to the open neighborhood of the Legendrian. This is GPS restriction of sheaf. On the co-core level, we have the co-variant inclusion, so we have A0AA_0 \to A, where A0A_0 is the endormorphisms of cocores inside the small guy, and AA is the endomorphism of cocore in the big guy. And, we get AmodA0modA-mod \to A_0-mod, hence the functor induces map on moduli space .

Let's be concrete, suppose we are in S5S^5. The augmentation variety is certainly very complicated, since Legendrian DGA was. A rank-1 module of the Legendrian DGA probably comes a simple Lagrangian filling. And you could have different ones.

How does Legendrian weave mutation work? Let's think globally first.

What do I want?
