Andrew Manion, NC State, Heegaard Floer homology and higher tensor products
SAS 4201I will give a brief introduction to Heegaard Floer homology and survey what's known about its "extended" structure via Lipshitz-Ozsvath-Thurston's bordered Floer homology and Douglas-Lipshitz-Manolescu's cornered Floer homology. Then I will sketch a connection between this extended structure and a more algebraic problem, the construction of tensor products for higher representations, arising from my recent work with…
