Calabi-Yau structure on the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of a Legendrian sphere

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of an horizontally displaceable n-dimensional Legendrian sphere in the contactisation of a Liouville manifold is a (n+1)-Calabi-Yau differential graded algebra. In particular it means that there is a quasi-isomorphism of DG-bimodules between the diagonal bimodule and the inverse dualizing bimodule associated to the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra. On some cyclic version of these bimodules, which are chain complexes computing the Hochschild homology and cohomology of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra, we construct $A_{\infty }$ operations and show that the Calabi-Yau isomorphism extends to a family of maps satisfying the $A_{\infty }$-functor equations.
