Abstract

In this article, associated to a (bordered) Legendrian graph, we study and show the equivalence between two categorical Legendrian isotopy invariants: the augmentation category, a unital $A_\infty$-category, which lifts the set of augmentations of the associated Chekanov–Eliashberg DGA, and a DG category of constructible sheaves on the front plane, with micro-support at contact infinity controlled by the (bordered) Legendrian graph. In other words, generalizing [21], we prove “augmentations are sheaves” in the singular case.
