Knot surgery and Heegaard Floer homology
One way to construct new 3-manifolds is by surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere; that is, we remove a neighborhood of a knot, and reglue it in a different way. What 3-manifolds can be obtained in this manner? We provide obstructions using the Heegaard Floer homology package of Ozsvath and Szabo. This is joint work with Cagri Karakurt and Tye Lidman.
