We recently defined an invariant of contact manifolds with convex boundary in
Kronheimer and Mrowka’s sutured monopole Floer homology theory. Here, we prove
that there is an isomorphism between sutured monopole Floer homology and
sutured Heegaard Floer homology which identifies our invariant with the
contact class defined by Honda, Kazez and Matić in the latter theory. One
consequence is that the Legendrian invariants in knot Floer homology behave
functorially with respect to Lagrangian concordance. In particular, these
invariants provide computable and effective obstructions to the existence of such
concordances. Our work also provides the first proof which does not rely on Giroux’s
correspondence that Honda, Kazez and Matić’s contact class is well defined up to
isomorphism.
