Abstract

In this paper we outline a program for the classification of Floer-type theories, (or defining invariants of finite type for families). We consider Khovanov complexes as a local system on the space of knots introduced by V. Vassiliev and construct the wall-crossing morphism. We extend this system to the singular locus by the cone of this morphism and introduce the definition of the local system of finite type. This program can be further generalized to the manifolds of dimension 3 and 4.

Cut pairs and Morse splitting of finitely generated groups

Bowditch's theorem for hyperbolic groups establishes a fundamental correspondence between splittings over two-ended subgroups and the existence of local cut points in the Gromov boundary. While analogous results have been obtained for CAT(0) and relatively hyperbolic groups, no general theorem of this type exists for arbitrary finitely generated groups. The Morse boundary, introduced by Charney-Sultan and extended by Cordes, provides a quasi-isometry invariant boundary for any finitely generated group that naturally generalizes the Gromov boundary. In this paper, we prove that a splitting of a finitely generated group with connected Morse boundary over a two-ended Morse subgroup gives rise to a separating pair of points in the Morse boundary.

Khovanov Homology in Connected Sums

Khovanov homology is an invariant for links in the three sphere that categorizes the Jones polynomial. We extend Khovanov's construction to links in 3-manifolds that are connected sums of orientable interval bundles over surfaces. Cutting the 3-manifold along a separating sphere, we construct type D and type A structures that are invariants of tangles in the two halves following the work of Roberts. Gluing the type D and type A structures along the common boundary recovers the Khovanov homology of the link.

Fox-Milnor condition for concordant knots in homology 3-spheres

This paper will show that the Alexander polynomial of a knot, which is of slice type in an oriented homology 3-sphere, obeys the Fox-Milnor polynomial condition. A relation between Alexander polynomial of concordant knots in an oriented homology 3-sphere is established.
