Lagrangian concordance is not a symmetric relation (1301.3767v2)
Published 16 Jan 2013 in math.SG and math.GT
Abstract: We provide an explicit example of a non trivial Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ such that there exists a Lagrangian concordance from $\Lambda_0$ to $\Lambda$ where $\Lambda_0$ is the trivial Legendrian knot. We then use the map induced in Legendrian contact homology by a concordance and the augmentation category of $\Lambda$ to show that no Lagrangian concordance exists in the other direction. This proves that the relation of Lagrangian concordance is not symmetric.
