The objective of this note is to prove an existence result for brake orbits in classical Hamiltonian systems (which was first proved by S.V.Bolotin) by using Floer theory. To this end, we compute an open string analogue of symplectic…
Ozsvath and Szabo conjectured that knot Floer homology detects fibred knots. We propose a strategy to approach this conjecture based on Gabai's theory of sutured manifold decomposition and contact topology. We implement this strategy for…
Inspired by the $S^n$ colored version of Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homology, we define a colored version of knot Floer homology by studying the colimit of a directed system of link Floer homology with infinite full twists.…
Following an idea of Fr\'ed\'eric le Roux, we define in this paper a family of Hofer-type pseudonorms on braid groups, computing the minimal energy of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism which fixes a Lagrangian configuration of circles on the…
For any three-manifold presented as surgery on a framed link (L,\Lambda) in an integral homology sphere, Manolescu and Ozsv\'ath construct a hypercube of chain complexes whose homology calculates the Heegaard Floer homology of…
We develop a skein exact sequence for knot Floer homology, involving singular knots. This leads to an explicit, algebraic description of knot Floer homology in terms of a braid projection of the knot.
We define and study a family of link invariants $\mathit{HFK}_{n}(L)$. Although these homology theories are defined using holomorphic disc counts, they share many properties with $sl_{n}$ homology. Using these theories, we give a framework…
We calculate the Heegaard Floer homologies for three-manifolds obtained by plumbings of spheres specified by certain graphs. Our class of graphs is sufficiently large to describe, for example, all Seifert fibered rational homology spheres.…
This article provides the first extension of Lagrangian Intersection Floer cohomology to Poisson structures which are almost everywhere symplectic, but degenerate on a lowerdimensional submanifold. The main result of the article is the…
In this article, the authors review what the Floer homology is and what it does in symplectic geometry both in the closed string and in the open string context. In the first case, the authors will explain how the chain level Floer theory…
We prove a number of fundamental properties about instanton knot Floer homology. Our arguments rely on general properties of sutured Floer theories and apply also in the Heegaard Floer and monopole Floer settings, where many of our results…
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of knot Floer homology under Murasugi sum. We establish a graded version of Ni's isomorphism between the extremal knot Floer homology of Murasugi sum of two links and the tensor product of the…
We focus on L-spaces for which the boundary maps of the Heegaard Floer chain complexes vanish. In previous paper \cite{Usui}, we collect such manifolds systematically by using the smoothing order on links. In this paper, we classify such…
This paper is a short introduction to the combinatorial version of tangle Floer homology defined in "Combinatorial tangle Floer homology". There are two equivalent definitions---one in terms of strand diagrams, and one in terms of bordered…
In this short note, we compare the combinatorial sign assignment of Manolescu, Ozsvath, Szabo and Thurston for grid homology of knots and links in 3-sphere with the sign assignment coming from a coherent system of orientations on Whitney…
Lipshitz, Ozsv\'ath, and Thurston extend the theory of bordered Heegaard Floer homology to compute $\mathbf{CF}^-$. Like with the hat theory, their minus invariants provide a recipe to compute knot invariants associated to satellite knots.…
In this paper we find a family of knots with trivial Alexander polynomial, and construct two non-isotopic Seifert surfaces for each member in our family. In order to distinguish the surfaces we study the sutured Floer homology invariants of…
In this article we address two issues. First, we explore to what extent the techniques of Piunikhin, Salamon and Schwarz in [PSS96] can be carried over to Lagrangian Floer homology. In [PSS96] an isomorphism between Hamiltonian Floer…
Giroux has described a correspondence between open book decompositions on a 3--manifold and contact structures. In this paper we use Heegaard Floer homology to give restrictions on contact structures which correspond to open book…
We consider satellite operators where the corresponding 2-component link is an L-space link. This family includes many commonly studied satellite operators, including cabling operators, the Whitehead operator, and a family of Mazur…
