Instanton Floer homology, sutures, and Euler characteristics
@inproceedings{Li2021InstantonFH, title={Instanton Floer homology, sutures, and Euler characteristics}, author={Zhenkun Li and Fan Ye}, year={2021} }
This is a companion paper to an earlier work of the authors. In this paper, we provide an axiomatic definition of Floer homology for balanced sutured manifolds and prove that the graded Euler characteristic χgr of this homology is fully determined by the axioms we proposed. As a result, we conclude that χgrpSHIpM,γqq “ χgrpSFHpM,γqq for any balanced sutured manifold pM,γq. In particular, for any link L in S3, the Euler characteristic χgrpKHIpS, Lqq recovers the multi-variable Alexander…

This paper establishes a new technique that enables us to access some fundamental structural properties of instanton Floer homology. As an application, we establish, for the first time, a relation…
Framed instanton homology and concordance

We define two concordance invariants of knots using framed instanton homology. These invariants ν♯ and τ♯ provide bounds on slice genus and maximum self‐linking number, and the latter is a…

In an earlier paper, we introduced a knot invariant for a null-homologous knot K in an oriented three-manifold Y , which is closely related to the Heegaard Floer homology of Y . In this paper we…

We show that all versions of Heegaard Floer homology, link Floer homology, and sutured Floer homology are natural. That is, they assign concrete groups to each based 3-manifold, based link, and…

An important class of three-manifolds are L-spaces, which are rational homology spheres with the smallest possible Floer homology. For knots with an instanton L-space surgery, we compute the framed…
