Calculating Heegaard-Floer Homology by Counting Lattice Points in Tetrahedra

Abstract

We introduce a notion of complexity for Sefiert homology spheres by establishing a correspondence between lattice point counting in tethrahedra and the Heegaard-Floer homology. This complexity turns out to be equivalent to a version of Casson invariant and it is monotone under a natural partial order in the set of Seifert homology spheres. Using this interpretation we prove that there are finitely many Seifert homology spheres with prescribed Heegaard-Floer homology. As an application, we characterize L-spaces and weakly elliptic manifolds among Seifert homology spheres. Also, we list all the Seifert homology spheres up to complexity two.

We have revised and improved the paper
