Study series invariants for plumbed 3-manifolds and their properties.

The lattice cohomology of a plumbed 3--manifold $M$ associated with a connected negative definite plumbing graph is an important tool in the study of topological properties of $M$, and in the comparison of the topological properties with analytic ones when $M$ is realized as complex analytic singularity link. By defini…

Paper proves a conjecture about a Heegaard Floer invariant for certain rational homology spheres.

Instanton Floer homology matches Heegaard Floer for almost-rational plumbings.

Researchers describe a new method to compute Seiberg-Witten-Floer spectra for a specific class of manifolds.

One of the main questions in the theory of normal surface singularities is to understand the relations between their geometry and topology. The lattice cohomology is an important tool in the study of topological properties of a plumbed 3-manifold M associated with a connected negative definite plumbing graph G. It conn…

This paper classifies minimal fillings of lens spaces.

Lattice cohomology, defined by Némethi in (arXiv:0709.0841), is an invariant of negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds which conjecturally computes the Heegaard Floer homology HF^+. We prove a surgery exact triangle for the lattice cohomology analogous to the one for HF^+. This is a step towards comparing these two inva…

Knot lattice homology invariant is preserved under certain 3-manifold diffeomorphisms.

New invariant unifies two theories of 3-manifolds, recovering quantum invariants.

Using the link surgery formula for Heegaard Floer homology we find a spectral sequence from the lattice homology of a plumbing tree to the Heegaard Floer homology of the corresponding 3-manifold. This spectral sequence shows that for graphs with at most two "bad" vertices, the lattice homology is isomorphic to the Heeg…

For any negative definite plumbed 3-manifold M we construct from its plumbed graph a graded Z[U]-module. This, for rational homology spheres, conjecturally equals the Heegaard-Floer homology of Ozsvath and Szabo, but it has even more structure. If M is a complex singularity link then the normalized Euler-characteristic…

In this paper, we introduce a category of graded commutative rings with certain algebraic morphisms, to investigate the cobordism category of plumbed 3-manifolds. In particular, we define a non-associative distributive algebra that gives necessary conditions for an abstract morphism between the homologies of two plumbe…

Study lens spaces' definite fillings, classifying those with specific inequalities.

We show that the knot lattice homology of a knot in an L-space is equivalent to the knot Floer homology of the same knot (viewed these invariants as filtered chain complexes over the polynomial ring Z/2Z [U]). Suppose that G is a negative definite plumbing tree which contains a vertex w such that G-w is a union of rati…

Study shows surgeries on certain knots bound rational homology 4-balls.

The paper constructs four-manifolds with lens space boundaries and explores sphere configurations in $\#^n \mathbb{C} P^2$.

Growth rate of Dehn twist lattice points in Teichmüller space is slower than mapping class group lattice points.

We compute the Pin(2)-equivariant monopole Floer homology for the class of plumbed 3-manifolds with at most one "bad" vertex (in the sense of Ozsvath and Szabo). We show that for these manifolds, the Pin(2)-equivariant monopole Floer homology can be calculated in terms of the Heegaard Floer/monopole Floer lattice compl…

We establish two exact sequences for the lattice cohomology associated with non-degenerate plumbing graphs. The first is the analogue of the surgery exact triangle proved by Ozsvath and Szabo for the Heegaard-Floer invariant HF^+; for the lattice cohomology over Z_2-coefficients it was proved by J. Greene. Here we prov…

Classifies lattices from knot surgeries, defining a concordance invariant.

Knot lattice homology invariant of smooth knot type in rational homology spheres.

Legendrian invariant studied in knot lattice homology.

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we establish its validity for a large class of singularities: some rational and minimally e…

Proves effective slope gaps for lattice surfaces.

New method approximates hyperbolic lattices using cube complexes.

Two arrangements with the same combinatorial intersection lattice but whose complements have different fundamental groups are called a Zariski pair. This work finds that there are at most nine such pairs amongst all ten line arrangements whose intersection points are doubles or triples. This result is obtained by consi…

Santaló calculated the measures for all positions of a moving line segment in which it lies inside a fixed circle and intersects this circle in one or two points. From these measures he concluded hitting probabilities for a line segment thrown randomly onto an unbounded lattice of circles. In the present paper these re…

We show how to define and count lattice points in the moduli space $\modm_{g,n}$ of genus g curves with n labeled points. This produces a polynomial with coefficients that include the Euler characteristic of the moduli space, and tautological intersection numbers on the compactified moduli space.

We survey the use of continued fraction expansions in the algebraical and topological study of complex analytic singularities. We also prove new results, firstly concerning a geometric duality with respect to a lattice between plane supplementary cones and secondly concerning the existence of a canonical plumbing struc…

We define the basket number, the flat plumbing number and the flat plumbing basket number of a link. Then we provide some upperbounds for these plumbing numbers by using Seifert's algorithm. We study the relation between these plumbing numbers and the genera of links.

New lower bounds show learning intersections of halfspaces is hard even for a few halfspaces.

L-spaces were introduced by Ozsvath and Szabo using the Heegaard Floer Homology. In the quest for L-spaces we consider links of isolated complete intersection surface singularities. We show that if such a manifold is an L-space, then it is a link of a rational singularity. We also prove that if it is not an L-space the…

New growth rate for pseudo-Anosov conjugacy classes in Teichmüller space.

Flat plumbing basket surfaces of links were introduced to study the geometry of the complement of the links. These flat plumbing basket surface can be presented by a sequential presentation known as flat plumbing basket code first found by Furihata, Hirasawa and Kobayashi. The minimum number of flat plumbings to obtain…

This paper proves that lattice point enumeration in moduli spaces satisfies topological recursion.

The existence of basket, flat plumbing and flat plumbing basket surfaces of a link was first proven from a braid representative of the link. In the present article, we show the existence of such surfaces from an induced graph of the link. Consequently, we define the basket number, flat plumbing number and flat plumbing…

We prove a generalisation of Elkies' theorem to nonunimodular definite forms (and lattices). Combined with inequalities of Froyshov and of Ozsvath and Szabo, this gives a simple test of whether a rational homology 3-sphere may bound a definite four-manifold. As an example we show that small positive surgeries on torus …

Flat plumbing basket surfaces of links were introduced to study the geometry of the complement of the links. In present article, we study links of the flat plumbing basket numbers $4$ or less using a special presentation of the flat plumbing basket surfaces. We find a complete classification theorem of links of the fla…
