Brieskorn spheres and rational homology ball symplectic fillings

Antonio Alfieri, Alberto Cavallo, Irena Matkovič

Given a canonically oriented Brieskorn sphere , we confirm some statements conjectured by Gompf. More specifically, we obstruct the existence of rational homology…

Heegaard Floer theory and pseudo-Anosov flows II: Differential and Fried pants

Antonio Alfieri, Chi Cheuk Tsang

In earlier work, relying on work of Agol-Guéritaud and Landry-Minsky-Taylor, we showed that given a pseudo-Anosov flow and a collection of closed orbits satis…

Heegaard Floer theory and pseudo-Anosov flows I: Generators and categorification of the zeta function

Antonio Alfieri, Chi Cheuk Tsang

We bring to light a new connection between dynamics and Heegaard Floer homology. On a closed 3-manifold we consider a pseudo-Anosov flow with no perfect fits with respect t…

Is the geography of Heegaard Floer homology restricted or the -space conjecture false?

Antonio Alfieri, Fraser Binns

In a recent note F. Lin showed that if a rational homology sphere admits a taut foliation then the Heegaard Floer module contains a copy of as a sum…

Holomorphic curves in Stein domains and the tau-invariant

Antonio Alfieri, Alberto Cavallo

The scope of the paper is threefold. First, we build on recent work by Hayden to compute Hedden's tau-invariant in the case when is a Stein fillable contact structure…

Involutions and the Chern-Simons filtration in instanton Floer homology

Antonio Alfieri, Irving Dai, Abhishek Mallick +1

Building on the work of Nozaki, Sato and Taniguchi, we develop an instanton-theoretic invariant aimed at studying strong corks and equivariant bounding. Our construction utilizes t…
