Miyazawa's Invariant, Lefschetz Numbers, and Seifert Solids

Geometric Topology 2026-05-15 v1

Abstract

We establish a formula expressing Miyazawa's 2-knot invariant deg|\mathrm{deg}| in terms of the Lefschetz number of a map on ordinary (i.e., not real) monopole Floer homology. As an application, we deduce that deg=1|\mathrm{deg}|=1 for any 2-knot in S4S^4 which has a punctured LL-space as a Seifert solid. In the course of the proof of the main theorem, we show how Francesco Lin's construction of monopole Floer homology with Pin(2)\operatorname{Pin}(2)-equivariant perturbations can be made to work with integer coefficients.
