Computing $\widehat{\mathit{HF}}$ by factoring mapping classes

Robert Lipshitz, Peter S Ozsváth and Dylan P Thurston

Geometry & Topology 18 (2014) 2547–2681
Abstract

Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant for 3–manifolds with boundary. In particular, this invariant associates to a handle decomposition of a surface F a differential graded algebra, and to an arc-slide between two handle decompositions, a bimodule over the two algebras. In this paper, we describe these bimodules for arc-slides explicitly, and then use them to give a combinatorial description of HF̂ of a closed 3–manifold, as well as the bordered Floer homology of any 3–manifold with boundary.

Keywords
