The Heegaard Floer homology introduced by Ozsvath and Szabo provides a lot of link invariants to study links in the three-sphere and its surgery manifolds. In this talk, we exact some invariants from the package to give bounds for the four-ball genus of links in the three-sphere. We also give a family of links where the bound is sharp.
