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…

The endpoint of this series of papers is to construct the monopole Floer homology for any pair $(Y,\omega)$, where $Y$ is a compact oriented 3-manifold with toroidal boundary and $\omega$ is a suitable closed 2-form. In the first paper, we…

In this paper, we develop a mini-max theory of the action functional over the semi-infinite cycles via the chain level Floer homology theory and construct spectral invariants of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on arbitrary, especially on {\it…

Adapting a construction of D Salamon involving the U(1) vortex equations, we explore the properties of a Floer theory for 3-manifolds that fiber over S^1 which exhibits several parallels with monopole Floer homology, and in all likelihood…

We introduce a framework for defining concordance invariants of knots using equivariant singular instanton Floer theory with Chern-Simons filtration. It is demonstrated that many of the concordance invariants defined using instantons in…

In the early days of the Floer theory, Atiyah asked if there is a Milnor fiber description of the Floer homology of the links of singularities. We answer this question for the Brieskorn-Hamm complete intersection singularities. The…

In this paper we answer the question posed by M.~Atiyah and give an explicit formula for Floer homology of Brieskorn homology spheres in terms of their branching sets over the 3--sphere. We further show how Floer homology is related to…

In this paper, we apply spectral invariants, constructed in [Oh5,8], to the study of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$. Using spectral invariants, we first construct an invariant norm called the {\it…

We establish a formula expressing Miyazawa's 2-knot invariant $|\mathrm{deg}|$ in terms of the Lefschetz number of a map on ordinary (i.e., not real) monopole Floer homology. As an application, we deduce that $|\mathrm{deg}|=1$ for any…

Khovanov-Floer theories are a class of homological link invariants which admit spectral sequences from Khovanov homology. They include Khovanov homology, Szab{\'o}'s geometric link homology, singular instanton homology, and various Floer…

We compute the connected Heegaard Floer homology (defined by Hendricks, Hom, and Lidman) for a large class of 3-manifolds, including all linear combinations of Seifert fibered homology spheres. We show that for such manifolds, the connected…

We study the relation between isolated hypersurface singularities (e.g. ADE) and the quantum cohomology ring by using spectral invariants, which are symplectic invariants coming from Floer theory. We prove, under the assumption that the…
