In a series of papers [35–39], L. Ng introduced and studied a new algebraic invariant of a link L in R3 represented by a semi-free differential graded (DG) algebra AL. The structure of this DG algebra (termed a combinatorial knot DGA) is determined by an element of a braid group Bn representing the link L. The homology of AL is called the knot contact homology HC∗(L), as it coincides with the Legendrian contact homology 1 of the unit conormal bundle L⊆ ST∗ R3 of L. This coincidence was conjectured in [35, 36] and proved later in [13, 14], where it was shown, in fact, that the entire combinatorial knot DGA is isomorphic to a geometrically defined DG algebra computing the Legendrian contact homology of L.Our original motivation was to understand Ng’s combinatorial proof of the invariance of AL (up to quasi-isomorphism) under the Markov moves. We should remark that, although the differential of AL is defined in [35] by an explicit formula, its combinatorial structure is fairly complicated and its algebraic origin seems mysterious. Even the fact that the 0-th homology of AL is a link invariant is far from being obvious from the definition of [35](cf.[35, Section 4.3]). As a result, we have come up with a different, more conceptual construction that makes the Markov invariance of AL quite transparent 2 and, more importantly, places knot contact homology in one row with other classical invariants, such as knot groups and Alexander modules.
