General geometric structures on low-dimensional manifolds (57M50) Floer homology (57R58) Symplectic and contact topology in high or arbitrary dimension (57R17)

Abstract: We use the theory of sutured TQFT to classify contact elements in the sutured Floer homology, with $$ coefficients, of certain sutured manifolds of the form $(Sigmaimes{S}^1,Fimes{S}^1)$ where $Sigma$ is an annulus or punctured torus. Using this classification, we give a new proof that the contact invariant in sutured Floer homology with $$ coefficients of a contact structure with Giroux torsion vanishes. We also give a new proof of Massot's theorem that the contact invariant vanishes for a contact structure on $(Sigmaimes{S}^1,Fimes{S}^1)$ described by an isolating dividing set.
