Knot Floer homology and the mapping cone formula

Heegaard Floer theory provides us with invariants for 3-manifolds and knots. In this talk I'll introduce these invariants and mention how they are related to each other. As an application, we will see that these invariants sometimes obstruct 3-manifolds being surgery on a knot. This talk should be accessible to any graduate student who has taken a class on algebraic topology.
