Download or read book Combinatorial Floer Homology written by Vin de Silva and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors define combinatorial Floer homology of a transverse pair of noncontractible nonisotopic embedded loops in an oriented -manifold without boundary, prove that it is invariant under isotopy, and prove that it is isomorphic to the original Lagrangian Floer homology. Their proof uses a formula for the Viterbo-Maslov index for a smooth lune in a -manifold.
