Abstract: Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant for 3-manifolds, which associates to a surface F an algebra A(Z), and to a 3-manifold Y with boundary, together with an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism phi from F to �dy Y, a module over A(Z). We study the Grothendieck group of modules over A(Z), and define an invariant lying in this group for every bordered 3-manifold. We prove that this invariant recovers the kernel of the inclusion of H_1(�dy Y; Z) into H_1(Y; Z) if H_1(Y, �dy Y; Z) is finite, and is 0 otherwise. We also study the properties of this invariant corresponding to gluing. As one application, we show that the pairing theorem for bordered Floer homology categorifies the classical Alexander polynomial formula for satellites.

Review text

Heegaard Floer homology is an approach to studying knots, links, and 3- and 4-manifolds developed by \textit{P. Ozsváth} and \textit{Z. Szabó} [Geom. Topol. 7, 185--224 (2003; Zbl 1130.57302); Ann. Math. (2) 159, No. 3, 1159--1245 (2004; Zbl 1081.57013)]. The ideas of Heegaard Floer homology were recently generalized by \textit{R. Lipshitz} et al. to 3-manifolds with boundary [``Bordered Heegaard Floer homology: invariance and pairing, Preprint, \url{arXiv:0810.0687}]. Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant for 3-manifolds which associates to a surface \(F\) an algebra \(\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{Z})\) , and to a 3-manifold \(Y\) with boundary, together with an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism \(\phi:F\rightarrow \partial Y\), a module over \(\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{Z})\) . In this paper the author studies the Grothendieck group of modules over \(\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{Z})\), and she defines an invariant lying in this group for every bordered 3-manifold \((Y,\partial Y,\phi)\). Also an Euler characteristic of bordered Heegaard Floer homology is studied for each of the two types of modules associated to a bordered manifold. As an application of the theoretical results the author shows that the pairing theorem for bordered Floer homology categorifies the classical Alexander polynomial formula for satellites.
