Floer Homology and Invariants of Homology Cobordism
By using surgery techniques, we compute Floer homology for certain classes of integral homology 3-spheres homology cobordant to zero. We prove that Floer homology is two-periodic for all these manifolds. Based on this fact, we introduce a new integer valued invariant of integral homology 3-spheres. Our computations suggest its homology cobordism invariance.
متن کاملKnot Concordance and Homology Cobordism Workshop
I will give an overview of the n-solvable filtration of the smooth knot (or string link) concordance group including the strategy and tools used to analyze it: higher-order Alexander modules, linking forms and signature defects. I will attempt to discuss what is known about this filtration, what is not known but should be knowable by present techniques; and discuss the failings of present techn...
متن کاملHomology Cobordism and Classical Knot Invariants
In this paper we define and investigate Z2–homology cobordism invariants of Z2–homology 3–spheres which turn out to be related to classical invariants of knots. As an application we show that many lens spaces have infinite order in the Z2–homology cobordism group and we prove a lower bound for the slice genus of a knot on which integral surgery yields a given Z2– homology sphere. We also give s...
متن کاملThe Cobordism Group of Homology Cylinders
Garoufalidis and Levine introduced the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders over a surface. This group can be regarded as a generalization of the mapping class group. Using torsion invariants, we show that the abelianization of this group is infinitely generated provided that the first Betti number of the surface is positive. In particular, this shows that the group is not perfect. Th...
متن کاملLINK CONCORDANCE, HOMOLOGY COBORDISM, AND HIRZEBRUCH-TYPE INTERSECTION FORM DEFECTS FROM TOWERS OF ITERATED p-COVERS
We obtain new invariants of topological link concordance and homology cobordism of 3-manifolds from Hirzebruch-type intersection form defects of towers of iterated p-covers. Our invariants can extract geometric information from an arbitrary depth of the derived series of the fundamental group, and can detect torsion which is invisible via signature invariants. Applications illustrating these fe...
