Heegaard Floer homologies for (+1) surgeries on torus knots

Geometric Topology 2011-05-30 v1

Abstract

We compute the Heegaard Floer homology of S13(K)S^3_1(K) (the (+1) surgery on the torus knot Tp,qT_{p,q}) in terms of the semigroup generated by pp and qq, and we find a compact formula (involving Dedekind sums) for the corresponding Ozsvath--Szabo d-invariant. We relate the result to known knot invariants of Tp,qT_{p,q} as the genus and the Levine--Tristram signatures. Furthermore, we emphasize the striking resemblance between Heegaard Floer homologies of (+1) and (-1) surgeries on torus knots. This relation is best seen at the level of τ\tau functions.
