Holomorphic Triangles in the Heegaard Floer Pillowcase

Abstract

The Heegaard Floer pillowcase is a recurring local model for rational tangle replacement and exact-triangle constructions. We compute the triangle product for its standard rational-slope triples of curves and encode all contributing classes in a finite generating polynomial. One slope ordering gives a vanishing map. For the other, a closed form for the generating function is computed. One may assume that the slopes are $\tfrac10,\tfrac pq$ and $\tfrac{p'}{q'}$. When an integer lies between the two finite slopes, the closed form has a particularly simple description and there are exactly $2(pq'-p'q)+2qq'$ contributing classes. We also compute the absolute Maslov bi-gradings of the intersection generators in the employed model, relating the planar labels to the graded Floer groups of two-bridge knots and links.

3d Super Hyperbolic Geometry

Wigner's unitary representation of the Lorentz group is extended to a representation of the complex orthosymplectic Lie supergroup (\operatorname{OSp}_{\mathbb C}(1|2)) acting on Minkowski ((3,1|4))-dimensional superspace essentially by Hermitian conjugation. The invariant quadratic form is[x_1x_2-x\bar x+ϕψ+\barϕ\barψ]in Wigner's real coordinates (x_1,x_2) and complex coordinate (x), where (ϕ) and (ψ) are Dirac fermions. The extended action is linear in the superspace variables, but not quadratic in the odd group variables, and is described by an explicit even purely imaginary auxiliary parameter defined on the product of the Lie supergroup with its Lie algebra. This extension of Wigner's representation opens the door to the study of geometry in super hyperbolic three-space, initiated here with foundations on super geodesics, triangles, and tetrahedra, together with an analysis of ideal tetrahedra and a discussion of the nonzero fermionic correction to the Schläfli formula. This version includes a corrigendum that does not materially affect the main results, except for the claimed divergence of the volume of an ideal tetrahedron: the earlier divergence computation was correct as a calculation, but was carried out for an incorrect differential form.

Seifert cobordisms and the Chen-Yang volume conjecture

We study the large $r$ asymptotic behavior of the Turaev-Viro invariants $TV_r(M; e^{\frac{2πi}{r}})$ of 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary, under the operation of gluing a Seifert-fibered 3-manifold along a component of $\partial M$. We show that the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture is closed under this operation. As an application we prove the volume conjecture for all Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with boundary and for large classes of graph 3-manifolds.

Equivariant lattice homology for Seifert homology 3-spheres

We develop an $S^1 \times \mathbb{Z}_p$-equivariant refinement of the lattice homotopy type for Seifert homology 3-spheres equipped with the Seifert $\mathbb{Z}_p$-action. We construct an equivariant comparison map to the $S^1 \times \mathbb{Z}_p$-equivariant Seiberg--Witten Floer spectrum that becomes an $S^1$-equivariant stable homotopy equivalence after forgetting the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-action, yielding a combinatorial description of its Borel equivariant cohomology.
