This research demonstrates conditions for achieving exact Lagrangian fillability in 3-braid closures, indicating connections to quasipositive sequences.
We determine when a Legendrian quasipositive 3-braid closure in standard contact R³ admits an orientable or non-orientable exact Lagrangian filling. Our main result provides evidence for the orientable fillability conjecture of Hayden and Sabloff, showing that a 3-braid closure is orientably exact Lagrangian fillable if and only if it is quasipositive and the HOMFLY bound on its maximum Thurston-Bennequin number is sharp. Of possible independent interest, we construct explicit Legendrian representatives of quasipositive 3-braid closures with maximum Thurston-Bennequin number.
