We describe an effective method for simultaneously computing of $d$-invariants of infinite families of Brieskorn spheres $\Sigma(p,q,r)$ with $pq+pr-qr=1$.

Continuing our previous work, we effectively compute connected Heegaard Floer homologies of two families of Brieskorn spheres realized as the boundaries of almost simple linear graphs. Using Floer theoretic invariants of Dai, Hom,…

Given a finite group $G$, we define a new invariant of odd-dimensional oriented closed manifolds and call it the KDW invariant. This invariant is a Dijkgraaf--Witten invariant in terms of $K$-theory. In this paper, we compute the invariant…

We compute the Ozsv\'ath--Szab\'o contact invariants for all tight contact structures on the manifolds -\Sigma(2,3,6n-1).

For any rational homology 3-sphere and one of its spin^{c}-structures, Ozsvath and Szabo defined a topological invariant, called d-invariant. Given a knot in the 3-sphere, the d-invariants associated with the prime-power-fold branched…

We use the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o contact invariants to distinguish between tight contact structures obtained by Legendrian surgeries on stabilized Legendrian links in tight contact 3-manifolds. We also discuss the implication of our result on…

It is known by the author that there exist 20 families of Dehn surgeries in the Poincar\'e homology sphere yielding lens spaces. In this paper, we give the concrete knot diagrams of the families and extend them to families of lens space…

We give new tightness criteria for positive surgeries along knots in the 3-sphere, generalising results of Lisca and Stipsicz, and Sahamie. The main tools will be Honda, Kazez and Matic's, Ozsvath and Szabo's Floer-theoretic contact…

By using grid homology theory, we give an explicit algorithm for computing Ozsv\'ath-Stipsicz-Szab\'o's $\Upsilon$-invariant and the $d$-invariant of Dehn surgeries along knots in $S^3$. As its application, we compute the two invariants for…

Let S^3_r(K) be the oriented 3--manifold obtained by rational r-surgery on a knot K in S^3. Using the contact Ozsvath-Szabo invariants we prove, for a class of knots K containing all the algebraic knots, that S^3_r(K) carries positive,…

In this paper we further develop the theory of equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Floer cohomology of the two authors, with an emphasis on Brieskorn homology spheres. We obtain the following applications. First, we show that the knot concordance…

We describe a construction that takes as input a graph and a basis for its first homology, and returns a triangulation of a 3-dimensional homology sphere. This makes precise an idea of M. Gromov and A. Nabutovski. The immediate application,…

New methods for computing a variety of gauge theoretic invariants for homology 3-spheres are developed. These invariants include the Chern-Simons invariants, the spectral flow of the odd signature operator, and the rho invariants of…

Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o used the knot filtration on $\widehat{CF}(S^3)$ to define the $\tau$-invariant for knots in the 3-sphere. In this article, we generalize their construction and define a collection of $\tau$-invariants associated to a…

We study an exact asymptotic behavior of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant for the Brieskorn homology spheres $\Sigma(p_1,p_2,p_3)$ by use of properties of the modular form following a method proposed by Lawrence and Zagier. Key…

In math.DG/9903083 (henceforth referred to as EA) we defined an integer invariant $h(Y)$ for oriented integral homology 3-spheres $Y$ which only depends on the rational homology cobordism class of $Y$ and is additive under connected sums.…

Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o gave a combinatorial description for the Heegaard Floer homology of boundaries of certain negative-definite plumbings. N\'emethi constructed a remarkable algorithm for executing these computations for almost-rational…

We describe an action of the concordance group of knots in the three-sphere on concordances of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds. As an application we define the notion of almost-concordance between knots. After some basic results, we prove…

In \cite{MR1957829}, Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o use Heegaard Floer homology to define numerical invariants $d_{1/2}$ and $d_{-1/2}$ for 3-manifolds $Y$ with $H_{1}(Y;\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathbb{Z}$. We define involutive Heegaard Floer theoretic…

We first present three graphic surgery formulae for the degree $n$ part $Z_n$ of the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston universal finite type invariant of rational homology spheres. Each of these three formulae determines an alternate sum of the…
