Antonio Alfieri, PMA 12.166: Is the geography of Heegaard Floer homology restricted or is the L-space conjecture false?
Monday, November 04, 2024, 02:00pm - 03:00pm
In a recent note Francesco Lin showed that if a rational homology sphere Y admits a taut foliation then the Heegaard Floer module $HF^-(Y)$ contains a copy of $F[U]/U$ as a summand. This implies that either the L-space conjecture is false or that Heegaard Floer homology satisfies a geography restriction. In a recent paper in collaboration with Fraser Binns we verified that Lin's geography restriction holds for a wide class of rational homology spheres. I shall discuss our argument, and advance the hypothesis that the Heegaard Floer module $HF^-(Y)$ may satisfy a stronger geography restriction than the one suggested by Lin's theorem.
