Juanita Pinzon-Caicedo, NC State, Instanton and Heegaard Floer homologies of surgeries on torus knots

March 27, 2019 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

A Floer homology is an invariant of a closed, oriented 3-manifold Y that arises as the homology of a chain complex whose generators are either the set of solutions to a differential equation or the intersection points between Lagrangian manifold, and its differential arises as the count of solutions of a differential equation on Y \times \R. The Instanton Floer chain complex is generated by flat connections on a principal SU(2)-bundle over, and the differential counts solutions to the Yang-Mills equation (known as instantons). The Heegaard Floer chain complex is generated by the intersection points of curves in a Heegaard diagram for Y and its differential counts solutions to the Cauchy-Riemann equation (known as pseudoholomorphic Whitney discs). In the talk I will show that these invariants are the same when the 3-manifold is surgery on S^3 along a torus knot. This is joint work with Tye Lidman and Christopher Scaduto.
