Heegaard Floer cobordism map

ID: heegaard-floer-cobordism-map

A smooth oriented cobordism with a Spin-c structure induces -equivariant maps on the corresponding Heegaard Floer homology groups. A handle decomposition defines the maps using generator selection for one- and three-handles and holomorphic triangle counts for two-handles. Composition sums over extensions of the prescribed Spin-c structures. When the boundary determinant classes are torsion, the absolute grading shift is
The square is defined using the rational relative lift. If , the infinity map vanishes. Between rational homology spheres, when , the infinity map is an isomorphism of Laurent towers.
