By cutting $Y_1$ along $\\Sigma$ and re-gluing it using an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of $\\Sigma$ we obtain another closed, oriented 3-manifold $Y_2$. When the excision surface $\\Sigma$ is of genus one, we show that twisted Heegaard Floer homology groups of $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ (twisted with coefficients in the universal Novikov ring) are isomorphic. We use this excision theorem to demonstrate that certain manifolds are not related by the excision construction on a genus one surface. Additionally, we apply the excision formula to compute twisted Heegaard Floer homology groups of 0-surgery on certain two-component links, including some families of 2-bridge links.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-10-27T02:12:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R58", "57K31", "57K18" ], "keywords": [ "heegaard floer theory", "excision theorem", "twisted heegaard floer homology groups", "excision surface", "universal novikov" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
