We compare the homology groups $H_n ^{IC}(X)$ of the chain complex of integral currents with compact support of a metric space $X$ with the singular Lipschitz homology $H^L_n (X)$ and with ordinary singular homology. If $X$ satisfies certain cone inequalities all these homology theories coincide. On the other hand, for…

Grid homology invariant proved for lens space links.

The based loop space homology of a special family of homogeneous spaces, flag manifolds of connected compact Lie groups is studied. First, the rational homology of the based loop space on a complete flag manifold is calculated together with its Pontrjagin structure. Second, it is shown that the integral homology of the…

This paper concerns the problem of existence of taut foliations among 3-manifolds. Since the contribution of David Gabai, we know that closed 3-manifolds with non-trivial second homology group admit a taut foliations. The essential part of this paper focuses on Seifert fibered homology 3-spheres. The result is quite di…

New families of Brieskorn spheres bound rational homology balls.

We examine surgery on a knot in $S^3$ to determine surgery obstructions to Seifert fibered integral homology spheres. We find such surgery obstructions using Heegaard Floer, Knot Floer homology and the mapping cone formula for computing Heegaard Floer homology of surgery on a knot. Here however, we take a different app…

Smooth approximation of integral cycles in manifolds.

Incompatible operations affect Khovanov homology and spectral sequences.

We prove that an integral homology 3-sphere is S^3 if and only if it admits four periodic diffeomorphisms of odd prime orders whose space of orbits is S^3. As an application we show that an irreducible integral homology sphere which is not S^3 is the cyclic branched cover of odd prime order of at most four knots in S^3…

Classifies surgeries on torus knots and cables that bound rational homology balls.

We will announce some results on the values of quantum sl_2 invariants of knots and integral homology spheres. Lawrence's universal sl_2 invariant of knots takes values in a fairly small subalgebra of the center of the h-adic version of the quantized enveloping algebra of sl_2. This implies an integrality result on the…

We study a theory of finite type invariants for null-homologous knots in rational homology 3-spheres with respect to null Lagrangian-preserving surgeries. It is an analogue in the setting of the rational homology of the Goussarov-Rozansky theory for knots in integral homology 3-spheres. We give a partial combinatorial …

Generalizes Seifert algorithm to integral homology spheres.

In a previous article, we constructed an invariant Z for null-homologous knots in rational homology spheres, from equivariant intersections in configuration spaces. Here we present an equivalent definition of Z in terms of configuration space integrals, we prove that Z is multiplicative under connected sum, and we prov…

Ozsváth, Rasmussen and Szabó constructed odd Khovanov homology. It is a link invariant which has the same reduction modulo 2 as (even) Khovanov homology. Szabó introduced a spectral sequence with mod 2 coefficients from mod 2 Khovanov homology to another link homology. He got his spectral sequence from a chain complex …

A new diffeomorphism invariant of integral homology 3-spheres is defined using a non-abelian 'quaternionic' version of the Seiberg-Witten equations.

Regularizes persistent homology gradients for neural network integration.

For an integral homology 3-sphere embedded asymptotically flatly in an Euclidean space, we find a natural framing extending the standard trivialization on the asymptotically flat part.

The paper shows uncountable integral homology for specific mapping class groups.

Study pinched submanifolds, proving homology vanishing results.

Two graph homologies help compute embedding space.

Study examines homology of contact CR-submanifolds in complex Euclidean space.

Combinatorial definition of bordered Floer theory for torus-boundary manifolds.

To an integral homology 3-sphere $Y$, we assign a well-defined $\Z$-graded (monopole) homology $MH_*(Y, I_{\e}(\T; \e_0))$ whose construction in principle follows from the instanton Floer theory with the dependence of the spectral flow $I_{\e}(\T; \e_0)$, where $\T$ is the unique U(1)-reducible monopole of the Seiberg-…

In this paper we define and investigate Z/2-homology cobordism invariants of Z/2-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 Z/2-homology cobordism group and we prove a lower bound for the slice genus of a k…

Using the diagrammatic calculus for Soergel bimodules, developed by B. Elias and M. Khovanov, as well as Rasmussen's spectral sequence, we construct an integral version of HOMFLY-PT and sl(n)-link homology.

We compute the $\mathrm{Pin}(2)$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology of Seifert rational homology three-spheres in terms of their Heegaard Floer homology. As a result of this computation, we prove Manolescu's conjecture that $β=-\barμ$ for Seifert integral homology three-spheres. We show that the Manolescu invari…

Study calculates instanton Floer homology for surgeries on L-space knots.

Proves a formula for instanton Floer homology of knots.

The paper introduces lattice homology for integrally closed submodules and applies it to geometric invariants.

We show that the perturbative ${\frak g}$ invariant of rational homology 3-spheres can be recovered from the LMO invariant for any simple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$, i.e, the LMO invariant is universal among the perturbative invariants. This universality was conjectured in [25]. Since the perturbative invariants dominate …

In the integral Khovanov homology of links, the presence of odd torsion is rare. Homologically thin links, that is links whose Khovanov homology is supported on two adjacent diagonals, are known to only contain $\mathbb{Z}_2$ torsion. In this paper, we prove a local version of this result. If the Khovanov homology of a…

In this paper we present our results on the homology cobordism group $\Th$ of the oriented integral homology 3-spheres. We specially emphasize the role played in the subject by the gauge theory including Floer homology and invariants by Donaldson and Seiberg -- Witten.

We prove that the quantum SO(3)-invariant of an arbitrary 3-manifold $M$ is always an algebraic integer, if the order of the quantum parameter is co-prime with the order of the torsion part of $H_1(M,\BZ)$. An even stronger integrality, known as cyclotomic integrality, was established by Habiro for integral homology 3-…

Study symmetries in equivariant Khovanov homology.

For smooth embeddings of an integral homology 3-sphere in the 6-sphere, we define an integer invariant in terms of their Seifert surfaces. Our invariant gives a bijection between the set of smooth isotopy classes of such embeddings and the integers. It also gives rise to a complete invariant for homology bordism classe…

We consider the question of which Dehn surgeries along a given knot bound rational homology balls. We use Ozsváth and Szabó's correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology to obtain general constraints on the surgery coefficients. We then turn our attention to the case of integral surgeries, with particular emphasis on p…

M. Kontsevich proposed a topological construction for an invariant Z of rational homology 3-spheres using configuration space integrals. G. Kuperberg and D. Thurston proved that Z is a universal real finite type invariant for integral homology spheres in the sense of Ohtsuki, Habiro and Goussarov. We discuss the behavi…

Extends Lawrence's representations to integral $U_q \mathfrak{sl}(2)$ Verma-modules and braid groups.

We define integral odd Khovanov homology of principally unimodular bipartite graph-links.

Given a finite group G, a G-covering of closed Riemannian manifolds, and a so-called G-relation, a construction of Sunada produces a pair of manifolds M_1 and M_2 that are strongly isospectral. Such manifolds have the same dimension and the same volume, and their rational homology groups are isomorphic. We investigate …

Study on homology groups of cDV singularity links, identifying their topology.

Suppose that a hyperbolic knot in $S^3$ admits a finite surgery, Boyer and Zhang proved that the surgery slope must be either integral or half-integral, and they conjectured that the latter case does not happen. Using the correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology, we prove that if a hyperbolic knot in $S^3$ admits a …

Integral foliated simplicial volume is zero for certain amenable covers.

In this article, using combinatorial techniques of mapping class groups, we show that a Stein fillable integral homology $3$-sphere supported by an open book decomposition with page a $4$-holed sphere admits a unique Stein filling up to diffeomorphism. Furthermore, according to a property of deforming symplectic fillin…

We derive a gauge theoretic invariant of integral homology 3-spheres which counts gauge orbits of irreducible, perturbed flat SU(3) connections with sign given by spectral flow. To compensate for the dependence of this sum on perturbations, the invariant includes contributions from the reducible, perturbed flat orbits.…

Fintushel and Stern showed that the Brieskorn sphere $Σ(2,3,7)$ bounds a rational homology ball, while its non-trivial Rokhlin invariant obstructs it from bounding an integral homology ball. It is known that their argument can be modified to show that the figure-eight knot is rationally slice, and we use this fact to p…

In this paper we calculate the integral Pontrjagin homology ring of the based loop space on some generalised symmetric spaces with a toral stationary subgroup. In the Appendix we show that the method can be applied to other type generalised symmetric spaces as well.
