Given an involution on a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ with quotient the $3$-sphere, we prove a formula for the Lefschetz number of the map induced by this involution in the reduced monopole Floer homology. This formula is motivated by a…

We define an invariant of three-manifolds with an involution with non-empty fixed point set of codimension $2$; in particular, this applies to double branched covers over knots. Our construction gives the Heegaard Floer analogue of Li's…

Real Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant associated to a three-manifold equipped with an involution with nonempty fixed set of codimension two. We show that when the image of the fixed point set is nullhomologous in the quotient, the…

We study equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer theory of rational homology $3$-spheres in the special case where the group action is given by an involution. The case of involutions deserves special attention because we can couple the involution…

In this remark, we show how the monopole Fr{\o}yshov invariant, as well as the analogues of the Involutive Heegaard Floer correction terms $\underline{d},\overline{d}$, are related to the $\mathrm{Pin}(2)$-equivariant Floer homology…

Using the theory of perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles, we define a homological invariant of knots in three-manifolds, similar to the three-manifold invariant constructed by Abouzaid and the second author. We use spaces of SL(2,C) flat…

We compute the $\mathrm{Pin}(2)$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology of Seifert rational homology three-spheres in terms of their Heegaard Floer homology. As a result of this computation, we prove Manolescu's conjecture that…

We study the Seiberg-Witten invariant $\lambda_{\rm{SW}} (X)$ of smooth spin $4$-manifolds $X$ with integral homology of $S^1\times S^3$ defined by Mrowka, Ruberman, and Saveliev as a signed count of irreducible monopoles amended by an…

For a given smooth $2$-knot in $S^4$, we relate the existence of a smooth Seifert hypersurface of a certain class to the existence of irreducible $ SU(2)$-representations of its knot group. For example, we see that any smooth $2$-knot…

We compute the effect of concordance surgery, a generalization of knot surgery defined using a self-concordance of a knot, on the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o 4-manifold invariant. The formula involves the graded Lefschetz number of the concordance…

Ozsvath and Szabo defined an analog of the Froyshov invariant in the form of a correction term for the grading in Heegaard Floer homology. Applying this to the double cover of the 3-sphere branched over a knot K, we obtain an invariant…

We study Seifert linking form which is an invariant of embeddings of punctured $n$-manifolds in $\mathbb R^{2n-1}$. For punctured $n$-manifold $N_0$ the values of this invariant are integer valued bilinear symmetric forms on…
