Real Heegaard Floer homology with integral coefficients

We treat the question of upgrading Guth-Manolescu's real Heegaard Floer theory to a $\mathbb Z/2$-graded invariant defined over $\mathbb Z$, specifically for the hat version with one basepoint on each component of the branching link. We provide if-and-only-if obstructions to the existence of relative $\mathbb Z/2$-gradings and $\mathbb Z$-lifts, in terms of purely homological information associated to the 3-manifold with involution. When the corresponding obstruction vanishes, we study the set of such $\mathbb Z$-lifts, which a priori is only an invariant up to a torsor action. The obstruction theory could be of independent interest in various Floer theories more broadly, particularly Lagrangian Floer theory.

Floer homotopy theory for monotone Lagrangians

We circumvent one of the roadblocks in associating Floer homotopy types to monotone Lagrangians, namely the curvature phenomena occurring in high dimensions. Given $N \ge 3$ and $R$ a connective $\mathbb E_1$-ring spectrum, there is a notion of an $N$-truncated, $R$-oriented flow category, to which we associate a module prospectrum over the Postnikov truncation $τ_{\le N - 3}R$. This endows ordinary Floer cohomology with an action of the Steenrod algebra over $τ_{\le N-3}R$, and also induces certain generalized cohomology theories. We give sufficient conditions for a closed embedded monotone Lagrangian to admit such well-defined invariants for $N = N_μ$ the minimal Maslov number, and $R = MU$ complex bordism. Finally, we formulate Oh-Pozniak type spectral sequences for these invariants, and show that in the case of $\mathbb{RP}^n \subset \mathbb{CP}^n$ they provide further restrictions on the topology of clean intersections with a Hamiltonian isotopy, not detected by ordinary Floer (co)homology.

Parameterized Lagrangian Floer homotopy

We construct the Lagrangian Floer homotopy type, in the exact setting, as a spectrum parameterized over the moduli space of Maslov data. Our primary motivation for this construction is to provide stronger lower bounds for (possibly degenerate) Lagrangian intersections in plumbings of cotangent bundles.

Revisiting the Cohen-Jones-Segal construction in Morse-Bott theory

In 1995, Cohen, Jones and Segal proposed a method of upgrading any given Floer homology to a stable homotopy-valued invariant. For a generic pseudo-gradient Morse-Bott flow on a closed smooth manifold $M$, we rigorously construct the alleged stable normal framings, which are an essential ingredient in their construction, and give a rigorous proof that the resulting stable homotopy type recovers $Σ^\infty_+ M$. We further show that other systems of compatible stable normal framings recover Thom spectra $M^E$, for all reduced $KO$-theory classes $E$ on $M$. Our paper also includes a construction of the smooth corner structure on compactified moduli spaces of broken flow lines with free endpoint, a formal construction of Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz type continuation maps, and a way to relax the stable normal framing condition to orientability in orthogonal spectra.

Zero-free angular sectors and lens-shaped regions for polynomials, with applications to irreducibility

For a real polynomial $f$ we present explicit zero-free angular sectors in the complex plane, symmetric with respect to the real axis, with angles depending only on the degree of $f$, and vertices expressed in terms of the coefficients of $f$. We also describe zero-free lens-shaped regions for $f$ that are associated to the zero-free sectors of the reciprocal of $f$. As an application, we use these zero-free regions to obtain irreducibility criteria for polynomials with integer coefficients that take a prime or a prime power value.
