Robert Lipshitz – University of Oregon –

Real Heegaard Floer homology is a new invariant of branched double covers, introduced by Gary Guth and Ciprian Manolescu, and inspired by work of Jiakai Li and others in Seiberg-Witten theory. After sketching their construction, we will describe an extension of the "hat" variant to 3-manifolds with boundary, and the algorithm this gives to compute it when the fixed set is connected. We will end with some open questions.
