A sufficiently wound genus-one diagram gives a two-generator summand whose chain differential is multiplication by : the two relevant disks have opposite coherent signs and basepoint multiplicities differing by . The map is injective over , so its homology is the displayed quotient. Multiplication by is invertible in the quotient, showing that minus-to-infinity is an isomorphism and that the plus and hat groups vanish. In the U-adic completion of Heegaard Floer homology, is a unit, so both completed minus and infinity groups vanish. This example shows why genus bounds for the completed-minus or plus groups must not be transferred unchanged to the ordinary minus theory.
