Study knot Floer cohomology using hyperbolic metrics and wrapped Fukaya categories.

problem Computing knot Floer cohomology for hyperbolic knots.
method Formalizes Floer complex on ideal boundary using hyperbolic metrics and wrapped Fukaya categories.
result Knot Floer cohomology is isomorphic to wrapped Floer cohomology for hyperbolic knots.

We construct smooth concordance invariants of knots which take the form of piecewise linear maps from [0,1] to R, one for each n greater than or equal to 2. These invariants arise from sl(n) knot cohomology. We verify some properties which are analogous to those of the invariant Upsilon (which arises from knot Floer ho…

Paper establishes an isomorphism between Fukaya category and bordered knot Floer homology.

problem Connecting Fukaya category and bordered knot Floer homology.
method Using A-infinity deformations and Hochschild cohomology calculations.
result Established an isomorphism between endomorphism algebras and star algebras.

We prove that a knot is the unknot if and only if its reduced Khovanov cohomology has rank 1. The proof has two steps. We show first that there is a spectral sequence beginning with the reduced Khovanov cohomology and abutting to a knot homology defined using singular instantons. We then show that the latter homology i…

We prove that twisted correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology provide lower bounds on the Thurston norm of certain cohomology classes determined by the strong concordance class of a 2-component link LL in S3S^3. We then specialise this procedure to knots in S2×S1S^2\times S^1, and obtain a lower bound on their geomet…

Defines log Floer cohomology for symplectic surfaces with a degenerate part.

problem Extending Floer cohomology to degenerate symplectic structures.
method Definition of log Floer cohomology for oriented log symplectic surfaces.
result Log Floer cohomology is invariant under isotopies and isomorphic to log de Rham cohomology for a single Lagrangian.

We generalize Lagrangian Floer cohomology to sequences of Lagrangian correspondences. For sequences related by the geometric composition of Lagrangian correspondences we establish an isomorphism of the Floer cohomologies. We give applications to calculations of Floer cohomology, displaceability of Lagrangian correspond…

We consider Lagrangian Floer cohomology for a pair of Lagrangian submanifolds in a symplectic manifold M. Suppose that M carries a symplectic involution, which preserves both submanifolds. Under various topological hypotheses, we prove a localization theorem for Floer cohomology, which implies a Smith-type inequality f…

Various Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomologies are defined for a closed, oriented 3-manifold; and if it is the mapping torus of an area-preserving surface automorphism, it has an associated periodic Floer homology as defined by Michael Hutchings. We construct an isomorphism between a certain version of Seiberg-Witten Floer …

These are notes from lectures given at the Clay Institute Summer School on "Floer homology, gauge theory and low-dimensional topology" (Budapest, 2004). The first part describes as background some of the geometry of symplectic fibre bundles and their monodromy. The second part, overviewing joint work with Paul Seidel, …

Study of knot Floer homology and its relation to Heegaard Floer homology via equivariant surgery.

problem Understanding the action of symmetries on knot Floer homology.
method Relating knot Floer homology to Heegaard Floer homology via equivariant surgeries.
result Identify the action of the involution on Heegaard Floer homology with an action on knot Floer homology.

The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationships between the quantum D-module and equivariant Floer theory. Equivariant Floer theory was introduced by Givental in his paper ``Homological Geometry''. He conjectured that the quantum D-module of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the equivariant Floer cohom…

This note explores two questions: (1) Which bigraded groups arise as the knot Floer homology of a knot in the three-sphere? (2) Given a knot, how many distinct knots share its Floer homology? Regarding the first, we show there exist bigraded groups satisfying all previously known constraints of knot Floer homology whic…

In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot K in S^3: the knot Floer homology groups of the preimage of K in the m-fold cyclic branched cover over K. We exhibit the knot Floer homology in the m-fold branched cover as the categorification of a multiple of the Turaev torsion in the case where the m-fol…
