A topological classification of generating functions
Abstract
From a generating function for a Legendrian in a $1$-jet bundle, we may extract the following topological information: (1) a trivialization of the stable Gauss map, (2) the sheaf of sub-level-set stable cohomotopies, and (3) an identification of the microlocalization of the latter with the J-homomorphism image of the former. Here we show that in fact (1), (2), (3) completely classify generating functions up to the classical equivalence relations of stabilization and fiberwise diffeomorphism.
