These lecture notes are a friendly introduction to monopole Floer homology. We discuss the relevant differential geometry and Morse theory involved in the definition. After developing the relation with the four-dimensional theory, our…
We define a "real" version of Kronheimer-Mrowka's monopole Floer homology for a 3-manifold equipped with an involution. As a special case, we obtain invariants for links via their double branched covers. The new input is the notion of a…
This is the second paper in this series. Following the setup of Meng-Taubes, we define 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…
We show that monopole Floer homology (as defined by Kronheimer and Mrowka) is isomorphic to the S^1-equivariant homology of the Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum constructed by the second author.
We survey the different versions of Floer homology that can be associated to three-manifolds. We also discuss their applications, particularly to questions about surgery, homology cobordism, and four-manifolds with boundary. We then…
We show that for a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ equipped with a self-conjugate spin$^c$-structure $\mathfrak s$, the $\operatorname{Pin}(2)$-equivariant monopole Floer homology of $(Y,\mathfrak s)$, as defined by Lin, is isomorphic to the…
We use monopole Floer homology to study the topology of the space of contact structures on a 3-manifold. Our main tool is a generalisation of the Kronheimer--Mrowka--Ozsv\'ath--Szab\'o contact invariant to an invariant for families of…
Some aspects of the construction of SW Floer homology for manifolds with non-trivial rational homology are analyzed. In particular, the case of manifolds that are obtained as zero-surgery on a knot in a homology sphere, and for torsion…
We define Pin(2)-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology for rational homology 3-spheres equipped with a spin structure. The analogue of Froyshov's correction term in this setting is an integer-valued invariant of homology cobordism whose…
This is the third paper of this series. In \cite{Wang20}, we defined 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 viewed as…
The study of triangulations on manifolds is closely related to understanding the three-dimensional homology cobordism group. We review here what is known about this group, with an emphasis on the local equivalence methods coming from…
In this paper, we give a systematic study of Seiberg-Witten theory on closed oriented manifold $M$ with codimension-$3$ oriented Riemannian foliation $F$. Under a certain topological condition, we construct the basic Seiberg-Witten…
We study the monopole h-invariants of 3-manifolds from a topological perspective based on Lidman and Manolescu's description of monopole Floer homology in terms of Seiberg-Witten-Floer homotopy types. We investigate the possible dependence…
We construct Bott-type and equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for 3-manifolds, in particular rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance. This paper is a revised version of math.DG/9701010.…
We compute the Pin(2)-equivariant monopole Floer homology for the class of plumbed 3-manifolds with at most one "bad" vertex (in the sense of Ozsvath and Szabo). We show that for these manifolds, the Pin(2)-equivariant monopole Floer…
For a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ with a $\spinc$ structure $\s$, we show that simple algebraic manipulations of our construction of equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology lead to a collection of variants which are topological…
To an integral homology 3-sphere $Y$, we assign a well-defined $\Z$-graded (monopole) homology $MH_*(Y, I_{\e}(\T; \e_0))$ whose construction in principle follows from the instanton Floer theory with the dependence of the spectral flow…
We give a new construction of monopole Floer homology for spin-c rational homology 3-spheres. As applications we define two invariants of certain smooth compact 4-manifolds with b_1=1 and b^+=0.
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 establish the exact triangle in Seiberg-Witten-Floer theory relating the monopoloe homologies of any two closed 3-manifolds which are obtained from each other by $\pm 1$-surgery. We also show that the sum of the modified version of the…
