Heegaard Floer homology

Closed manifolds:

To a closed, orientable 3-manifold Y we associate an abeliangroup HF (Y ) = H∗(CF (Y ))

Manifolds with torus boundary:

There is an algebra A associated to the torus.

To an orientable 3-manifold M with boundary ∂M = T 2 anda pair of parametrizing curves (α, β) for ∂M, we associate a

differential module CFD(M, α, β) or an A∞-module

CFA(M, α, β) over A.

The torus algebra A

A is generated (over F2) by ρ1, ρ2, ρ3, ρ12, ρ23, ρ123 and twoidempotents, ι0 and ι1.

ρ1 ρ2 ρ3 ρ12 ρ23 ρ123 ι0 ι1

Multiplication is concatenation, e.g.

ρ1ρ2 = ρ12, ρ2ρ1 = 0, ρ1ι1 = ρ1, ρ1ι0 = 0

ι0 + ι1 = 1 ∈ A. We also denote this by ρ∅.

A-decorated graphs

An A decorated graph is a directed graph with

vertices labeled by ι0 or ι1 (we depict these labels using • and ◦,respectively)

edges labeled by ρI for I ∈ {1, 2, 3, 12, 23, 123, ∅}.

The module CFD (or CFA) can be represented by an A-decorated graph.

vertices ↔ generators

(each generator has an associated idempotent)

arrows encode the differential

We will think of the invariants CFD or CFA as A-decorated graphs(up to appropriate equivalence)

We can always assume the graphs are reduced (i.e. no ρ∅ arrows).

Combinatorial description of loops

An oriented loop admits a well defined grading. There are fourtypes of vertices:

•I• II• •

II• I• ◦I◦ II◦ ◦

II◦ I◦

+ − − +

Reversing the orientation flips all the signs.

Proposition

This agrees with the relative Z2 grading on CFA defined byPetkova.

An oriented loop gives a cyclic word in {•+, •−, ◦+, ◦−}. In fact,the converse is also true.

Bordered invariants as curves

Given a loop type manifold M with parametrizing curves α

and β, CFD(M, α, β) is represented by a collection of loops.

These correspond to a collection of immersed curves in thepunctured torus.

We think of this as a collection γ(M, α, β) in ∂M \ {z},where z is a fixed basepoint.

Theorem 1 (H-Rasmussen-Watson)

The curves γ(M) := γ(M, α, β) do not depend on theparametrizing curves α and β.

Pairing: What happens when we glue?

Bordered Floer homology has a pairing theorem:

CFA(M1, α1, β1) � CFD(M2, α2, β2) ' CF (M1 ∪M2)

Suppose M1 and M2 are loop type manifolds. Then we havecollections of immersed curves γ1 ⊂ ∂M1 and γ2 ⊂ ∂M2.

Theorem 2 (H.-Rasmussen-Watson)

Let Y = M1 ∪h M2, where h : ∂M2 → ∂M1 is a diffeomorphism.Then

HF (Y ) ∼= HF (γ1, h(γ2)),

Where right side denotes the intersection Floer homology of thetwo sets of curves in the punctured torus ∂M1 \ {z}.

Application: L-space gluing

Question: If M1 and M2 are 3-manifolds with torus boundary,when is Y = M1 ∪M2 an L-space?

Let LMi denote the set of L-space slopes on ∂Mi .

Theorem 3 (H.-Rasmussen-Watson)

If M1 and M2 are loop type and neither is the solid torus, then M1 ∪M2

is an L-space iff every slope on ∂M1 = ∂M2 is in either L◦M1or L◦M2

If M1 and M2 are simple loop type, this was proved by H.-Watsonand Rasmussen-Rasmussen.

This was the key remaining step in confirming a conjecture ofBoyer-Gordon-Watson for graph manifolds.

Using curves, the proof is essentially an application of the MeanValue Theorem.
