A Heegaard Floer homology for bipartite spatial graphs and its
properties (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A spatial graph is a smooth embedding of a graph into a given
3-manifold. We can regard a link as a particular spatial graph.
So it is natural to ask whether it is possible to extend the idea
of link Floer homology to define a Heegaard Floer homology for
spatial graphs. In this talk, we discuss some ideas towards this
question. In particular, we define a Heegaard Floer homology for
bipartite spatial graphs and discuss some further observations
about this construction. We remark that Harvey and O’Donnol
have announced a combinatorial Floer homology for spatial graphs by
considering grid diagrams.
