Blowup formula for the mixed Heegaard Floer invariant

ID: blowup-formula-for-the-mixed-heegaard-floer-invariant

Let , and let be the exceptional sphere. Extend a Spin-c structure by . Then . More generally, an evaluation introduces the factor . This follows by putting the blowup on one side of an admissible cut: the punctured exceptional piece is negative definite, its minus and plus tower maps are multiplication by this power of , and the cobordism composition law gives the formula. In the case the exponent is zero, so nonvanishing is preserved.
