Abstract |
|
To each oriented surface , we associate a differential graded category . The homotopy category is a triangulated category which satisfies properties akin to those of the contact categories studied by K Honda. These categories are also related to the algebraic contact categories of Y Tian and to the bordered sutured categories of R Zarev. |
