The Alexander module, Seifert forms, and categorification

Abstract: Abstract. We show that bordered Floer homology provides a categorification of a TQFT described by Donaldson [Don99]. This, in turn, leads to a proof that both the Alexander module of a knot and the Seifert form are completely determined by Heegaard Floer theory.Dedicated to the memory of Tim Cochran and Geoff Mess.

“…We will not need the above gradings in this paper, but only a simpler grading by Z/2. Gradings by Z/2 on bordered Floer homology have appeared in [Pet18,Pet14,HLW17]. We lay out definitions here directly, specializing to the case of torus boundary, and encourage the reader to compare with earlier literature.…”

“…gr induces a relative Z 2 -grading on HF (H), which we also call gr. With respect to both relative There's an analogous story for the bordered invariants CFA and CFD, due to Hom, Lidman, and Watson in [8]. To explain this, we'll need the notion of a bordered partial permutation.…”
