48 results for second homology

We define a map from second quandle homology to the Schur multiplier and examine its properties. Furthermore, we express the second homology of Alexander quandles in terms of exterior algebras. Additionally, we present a self-contained proof of its structure and provide some computational examples.

method Proposes a new method to compute the second Steenrod square, showing it to be a link invariant.
result Shows the proposed method gives a refinement of the Rasmussen s-invariant with Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} coefficients.

Based on the results of the second author, we define an equivariant version of Lee and Bar-Natan homology for periodic links and show that there exists an equivariant spectral sequence from the equivariant Khovanov homology to equivariant Lee homology. As a result we obtain new obstructions for a link to be periodic. T…

In this paper, we generalize the work of the second author and prove a grading shifting property, in sutured monopole and instanton Floer theories, for general balanced sutured manifolds. This result has a few consequences. First, we offer an algorithm that computes the Floer homologies of a family of sutured handle-bo…

result Minimal genus is half the rank for complete graphs, trees, and complete bipartite graphs, and can be realized by disjoint unions of tori.

This is the fourth of five papers that construct an isomorphism between the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and the Heegaard Floer homology of a given compact, oriented 3-manifold. The isomorphism is given as a composition of three isomorphisms; the first of these relates a version of embedded contact homology on an an a…

We study the Thurston norm on the second homology of a 3-manifold M, which is the surface bundle over the circle with a pseudo-Anosov monodromy. A novelty of our approach consists in the application of the C*-algebras to a problem in topology. Namely, one associates to M a C*-algebra, whose K-theory gives rise to an al…

We focus on two kinds of infinite index subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface associated with a Lagrangian submodule of the first homology of a surface. These subgroups, called Lagrangian mapping class groups, are known to play important roles in the interaction between the mapping class group and finite-ty…

Study instanton Floer homology for links in RP^3 and use it to detect knots.

problem Detecting knots in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3 using instanton Floer homology.
method Compute instanton Floer homology for links in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3 and use spectral sequences.
result Khovanov homology detects the unknot and projective unknot in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3.

We prove a basic inequality for the d-invariants of a splice of knots in homology spheres. As a result, we are able to prove a new relation on the rank of reduced Floer homology under maps between Seifert fibered homology spheres, improving results of the first and second authors. As a corollary, a degree one map betwe…

In this paper, we introduce the annular instanton Floer homology which is defined for links in a thickened annulus. It is an analogue of the annular Khovanov homology. A spectral sequence whose second page is the annular Khovanov homology and which converges to the annular instanton Floer homology is constructed. As an…

method Examined the first homology group of mapping and Torelli groups with coefficients in the first rational homology group of the universal abelian cover of the surface.
result For surfaces with one boundary component, the twisted homology groups are finite-dimensional, but for surfaces with one puncture, they are infinite-dimensional.

result Computed HOMFLY-PT SS-invariant for all knots in the dataset.

We define the universal sl3-link homology, which depends on 3 parameters, following Khovanov's approach with foams. We show that this 3-parameter link homology, when taken with complex coefficients, can be divided into 3 isomorphism classes. The first class is the one to which Khovanov's original sl3-link homology belo…

Let M be an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold, such as a Bianchi manifold. We conjecture that there is a basis for the second homology of M, where each basis element is represented by a surface of `low' genus, and give evidence for this. We explain the relationship between this conjecture and the study of torsion homolo…

Let C^Z\widehat{\mathcal{C}}_{\mathbb{Z}} denote the group of knots in homology spheres that bound homology balls, modulo smooth concordance in homology cobordisms.
