This paper establishes an isomorphism between endomorphism algebras from the wrapped Fukaya category of a type of punctured surface, and the class of A-infinity algebras related to bordered knot Floer homology, called star algebras, which…

We construct geometric examples of pseudomanifolds that satisfy the Witt condition for intersection homology Poincare duality with respect to certain fields but not others. We also compute the bordism theory of $K$-Witt spaces for an…

By analyzing the decategorification of bordered sutured Heegaard Floer homology, we reinterpret and generalize the classical Frohman-Nicas TQFT for the Alexander polynomial in the setting of 3d sutured cobordisms between sutured surfaces.…

This is a survey article about knot Floer homology. We present three constructions of this invariant: the original one using holomorphic disks, a combinatorial description using grid diagrams, and a combinatorial description in terms of the…

We examine surgery on a knot in $S^3$ to determine surgery obstructions to Seifert fibered integral homology spheres. We find such surgery obstructions using Heegaard Floer, Knot Floer homology and the mapping cone formula for computing…

We compute the involutive Heegaard Floer homology of the family of three-manifolds obtained by plumbings along almost-rational graphs. (This includes all Seifert fibered homology spheres.) We also study the involutive Heegaard Floer…

We define a version of spectral invariant in the vortex Floer theory for a $G$-Hamiltonian manifold $M$. This defines potentially new (partial) symplectic quasi-morphism and quasi-states when $M//G$ is not semi-positive. We also establish a…

We prove that the fundamental group of any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sphere admits irreducible representations of its fundamental group in SL(2,C). For hyperbolic integer homology spheres this comes with the definition,…

We establish a structural understanding of the involutive Heegaard Floer homology for all linear combinations of almost-rational (AR) plumbed three-manifolds. We use this to show that the Neumann-Siebenmann invariant is a homology cobordism…

Let X be a smooth closed oriented non-spin 4-manifold with even intersection form kE_8\oplus nH. In this article we show that n\geq |k| on X. Thus we confirm the 10/8-conjecture affirmatively. As an application, we also give an estimate of…

In this paper we extend the idea of bordered Floer homology to knots and links in $S^3$: Using a specific Heegaard diagram, we construct gluable combinatorial invariants of tangles in $S^3$, $D^3$ and $I\times S^2$. The special case of…

We develop the theory of the diagrammatics of surface cross sections to prove that there are an infinite number of homology 3-spheres smoothly embeddable in a homology 4-sphere but not in a homotopy 4-sphere. Our primary obstruction comes…

Conjecturally, a knot in the 3-sphere has only finitely many non-integer non-characterizing slopes. We verify this conjecture for all knots with knot Floer homology satisfying certain simplicity conditions. The class of knots satisfying our…

We describe an invariant of a contact 3-manifold with convex boundary as an element of Juh\'asz's sutured Floer homology. Our invariant generalizes the contact invariant in Heegaard Floer homology in the closed case, due to Ozsv\'ath and…

In this note, we prove that if the boundary of a Mazur-type $4$-manifold is an irreducible Heegaard Floer homology $L$-space, then the manifold must be the $4$-ball, and the boundary must be the $3$-sphere. We use this to give a new proof…
