Floer homology and covering spaces

Tye Lidman and Ciprian Manolescu

Geometry & Topology 22 (2018) 2817–2838
Abstract

We prove a Smith-type inequality for regular covering spaces in monopole Floer homology. Using the monopole Floer/Heegaard Floer correspondence, we deduce that if a 3–manifold Y admits a pn–sheeted regular cover that is a pL–space (for p prime), then Y is a pL–space. Further, we obtain constraints on surgeries on a knot being regular covers over other surgeries on the same knot, and over surgeries on other knots.
