A topological grading on bordered Heegaard Floer homology (Q889250): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we construct a canonical grading on bordered Heegaard Floer homology by homotopy classes of nonvanishing vector fields. This grading is a generalization of our construction of an absolute grading on Heegaard Floer homology and it extends the well-known grading with values in a noncommutative group defined in [\textit{R. Lipshitz, P. Ozsváth} and \textit{D. Thurston}, Bordered Heegaard Floer homology: Invariance and pairing; \url{arXiv:0810.0687}].
