Abstract

Let ${Man}_{*}$ denote the category of closed, connected, oriented and based $3$ –manifolds, with basepoint preserving diffeomorphisms between them. Juhász, Thurston and Zemke showed that the Heegaard Floer invariants are natural with respect to diffeomorphisms, in the sense that there are functors

H F^{\circ} : {Man}_{*} \to 𝔽_{2} [U] – Mod

whose values agree with the invariants defined by Ozsváth and Szabó. The invariant associated to a based $3$ –manifold comes from a transitive system in $𝔽_{2} [U] – Mod$ associated to a graph of embedded Heegaard diagrams representing the $3$ –manifold. We show that the Heegaard Floer invariants yield functors

H F^{\circ} : {Man}_{*} \to Trans (P (ℤ [U] – Mod))

to the category of transitive systems in a projectivized category of $ℤ [U]$ –modules. In doing so, we will see that the transitive system of modules associated to a $3$ –manifold actually comes from an underlying transitive system in the projectivized homotopy category of chain complexes over $ℤ [U] – Mod$ . We discuss an application to involutive Heegaard Floer homology, and potential generalizations of our results.
