The Dehn Surgery Characterization of the Trefoil and the Figure Eight Knot
We give a Dehn surgery characterization of the trefoil and the figure eight knots. These results are gotten by combining surgery formulas in Heegaard Floer homology from an earlier paper with the characterization of these knots in terms of their knot Floer homology given in a recent paper of Ghiggini.
متن کاملThe Symplectic Floer Homology of Composite Knots
We develop a method of calculation for the symplectic Floer homology of composite knots. The symplectic Floer homology of knots defined in [15] naturally admits an integer graded lifting, and it formulates a filtration and induced spectral sequence. Such a spectral sequence converges to the symplectic homology of knots in [15]. We show that there is another spectral sequence which converges to ...
متن کاملCasson-lin’s Invariant of a Knot and Floer Homology
A. Casson defined an intersection number invariant which can be roughly thought of as the number of conjugacy classes of irreducible representations of π1(Y ) into SU(2) counted with signs, where Y is an oriented integral homology 3-sphere. X.S. Lin defined an similar invariant (signature of a knot) to a braid representative of a knot in S. In this paper, we give a natural generalization of the...
متن کاملInvolutive Heegaard Floer Homology
Using the conjugation symmetry on Heegaard Floer complexes, we define a three-manifold invariant called involutive Heegaard Floer homology, which is meant to correspond to Z4-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology. Further, we obtain two new invariants of homology cobordism, d and d̄, and two invariants of smooth knot concordance, V 0 and V 0. We also develop a formula for the involutive Heeg...
متن کاملFloer Homology and Surface Decompositions
Sutured Floer homology, denoted by SFH, is an invariant of balanced sutured manifolds previously defined by the author. In this paper we give a formula that shows how this invariant changes under surface decompositions. In particular, if (M,γ) (M , γ) is a sutured manifold decomposition then SFH(M , γ) is a direct summand of SFH(M,γ). To prove the decomposition formula we give an algorithm that...
