Given a Legendrian link L in the contact 3-sphere, one can hope to classify the set of exact Lagrangian fillings of L, i.e. exact Lagrangian surfaces in the symplectic 4-ball with boundary equal to L. Much of the recent progress towards this classification relies on establishing a connection between sheaf-theoretic invariants of Legendrians and cluster algebras. In this talk, I will describe this connection and how these invariants behave with respect to certain symmetries of Legendrian links and their fillings. Parts of this are joint work with Agniva Roy.
