Heegaard Floer homology and knots determined by their complements

In this paper we investigate the question of when different surgeries on a knot can produce identical manifolds. We show that given a knot in a homology sphere, unless the knot is quite special, there is a bound on the number of slopes that can produce a fixed manifold that depends only on this fixed manifold and the homology sphere the knot is in. By finding a different bound on the number of slopes, we show that non-null-homologous knots in certain homology $\mathbb{R}P^3$'s are determined by their complements. We also prove the surgery characterisation of the unknot for null-homologous knots in $L$-spaces. This leads to showing that all knots in some lens spaces are determined by their complements. Finally, we establish that knots of genus greater than $1$ in the Brieskorn sphere $\Sigma(2,3,7)$ are also determined by their complements.
