A combinatorial description of knot Floer homology

C Manolescu, P Ozsváth, S Sarkar - Annals of Mathematics, 2009 - JSTOR
Given a grid presentation of a knot (or link) K in the three-sphere, we describe a Heegaard
diagram for the knot complement in which the Heegaard surface is a torus and all elementary …

Pin (2)-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and the triangulation conjecture

C Manolescu - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2016 - ams.org
We define $\operatorname {Pin}(2) $-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology for rational
homology $3 $-spheres equipped with a spin structure. The analogue of Frøyshov’s …

On combinatorial link Floer homology

C Manolescu, P Ozsváth, Z Szabó, DP Thurston - Geometry & Topology, 2007 - msp.org
Link Floer homology is an invariant for links defined using a suitable version of Lagrangian
Floer homology. In an earlier paper, this invariant was given a combinatorial description with …

Involutive Heegaard Floer homology

K Hendricks, C Manolescu - 2017 - projecteuclid.org
Using the conjugation symmetry on Heegaard Floer complexes, we define a 3 -manifold
invariant called involutive Heegaard Floer homology, which is meant to correspond to Z 4 -…

On the Khovanov and knot Floer homologies of quasi-alternating links

C Manolescu, P Ozsváth - arXiv preprint arXiv:0708.3249, 2007 - arxiv.org
Quasi-alternating links are a natural generalization of alternating links. In this paper, we show
that quasi-alternating links are "homologically thin" for both Khovanov homology and knot …

Seiberg–Witten–Floer stable homotopy type of three-manifolds with b1= 0

C Manolescu - Geometry & Topology, 2003 - msp.org
Using Furuta’s idea of finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg–Witten theory, we refine
Seiberg–Witten Floer homology to obtain an invariant of homology 3–spheres which lives in …

The knight move conjecture is false

C Manolescu, M Marengon - Proceedings of the American Mathematical …, 2020 - ams.org
The Knight Move Conjecture claims that the Khovanov homology of any knot decomposes
as direct sums of some “knight move” pairs and a single “pawn move” pair. This is true for …

A concordance invariant from the Floer homology of double branched covers

C Manolescu, B Owens - International Mathematics Research …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Ozsváth and Szabó defined an analog of the Frøyshov invariant in the form of a correction
term for the grading in Heegaard Floer homology. Applying this to the double cover of the 3-…

A two-variable series for knot complements

S Gukov, C Manolescu - Quantum Topology, 2021 - ems.press
The physical 3d ND 2 theory T ŒY was previously used to predict the existence of some 3-manifold
invariants yZa. q/that take the form of power series with integer coefficients, …

A connected sum formula for involutive Heegaard Floer homology

K Hendricks, C Manolescu, I Zemke - Selecta Mathematica, 2018 - Springer
We prove a connected sum formula for involutive Heegaard Floer homology, and use it to
study the involutive correction terms of connected sums. In particular, we give an example of a …
