Computations of Heegaard Floer homology: Torus bundles, L-spaces, and correction terms
by Peters, Thomas David, Ph.D., Columbia University, 2010, 88; 3420883
Abstract (Summary)
In this thesis we study some computations and applications of Heegaard Floer homology. Specifically, we show how the Floer homology of a torus bundle is always "monic" in a certain sense, extending a result of Ozsváth and Szabó. We also explore the relation between Heegaard Floer homology L-spaces and non-left orderability of three-manifold groups. Finally, we discuss a concordance invariant coming from the Floer homology of ±1-surgeries.
