New exotic 4D spaces found using knot slicing techniques.

We construct maps on hat Heegaard Floer homology for cobordisms decorated with graphs. The graph TQFT allows for cobordisms with disconnected ends. Our construction uses Juhász's sutured Floer TQFT. We compute the maps for several elementary graph cobordisms. As an application, we compute the action of the fundamental …

Study corrects previous work on knot Floer homology of certain pretzel knots.

Using Taubes' periodic ends theorem, Auckly gave examples of toroidal and hyperbolic irreducible integer homology spheres which are not surgery on a knot in the three-sphere. We give an obstruction to a homology sphere being surgery on a knot coming from Heegaard Floer homology. This is used to construct infinitely man…

We construct a graph TQFT for the minus flavor of Heegaard Floer homology. Our graph TQFT extends Ozsváth and Szabó's TQFT for closed and connected 3-manifolds, and allows for cobordisms with disconnected ends. As an application, we give an explicit formula for the chain homotopy type of the $π_1$-action on Heegaard Fl…

Proves irreducible SU(2) representations for 3-surgery knots.

We give a complete classification of the spherical 3-manifolds that bound smooth rational homology 4-balls. Furthermore, we determine the order of spherical 3-manifolds in the rational homology cobordism group of rational homology 3-spheres. To this end, we use constraints for 3-manifolds to bound rational homology bal…

We investigate symmetry properties of peculiar modules, a Heegaard Floer invariant of 4-ended tangles which the author introduced in [arXiv:1712.05050]. In particular, we give an almost complete answer to the geography problem for components of peculiar modules of tangles. As a main application, we show that Conway mut…

Constructs exotic proper 2-knots from open 2-handles.

With a 4-ended tangle $T$, we associate a Heegaard Floer invariant $\operatorname{CFT^\partial}(T)$, the peculiar module of $T$. Based on Zarev's bordered sutured Heegaard Floer theory, we prove a glueing formula for this invariant which recovers link Floer homology $\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}$. Moreover, we classify…

The intended audience is graduate students with some minimal background in low-dimensional and algebraic topol…

The purpose of this thesis is to define a "local" version of Ozsváth and Szabó's Heegaard Floer homology $\operatorname{\widehat{HFL}}$ for links in the 3-dimensional sphere, i.e. a Heegaard Floer homology $\operatorname{\widehat{HFT}}$ for tangles in the closed 3-ball. After studying basic properties of $\operatorname…

We construct an obstruction for the existence of embeddings of homology $3$-sphere into homology $S^3\times S^1$ under some cohomological condition. The obstruction is defined as an element in the filtered version of the instanton Floer cohomology due to R.Fintushel-R.Stern. We make use of the $\mathbb{Z}$-fold coverin…

For any link of two components in an integral homology sphere, we define an instanton Floer homology whose Euler characteristic is the linking number between the components of the link. We relate this Floer homology to the Kronheimer-Mrowka instanton Floer homology of knots. We also show that, for two-component links i…

For any three-manifold presented as surgery on a framed link (L,Λ) in an integral homology sphere, Manolescu and Ozsváth construct a hypercube of chain complexes whose homology calculates the Heegaard Floer homology of Λ-framed surgery on Y.
