Adam Levine : Non-orientable surfaces in homology cobordisms
We study the minimal genus problem for embeddings of closed, non-orientable surfaces in a homology cobordism between rational homology spheres, using obstructions derived from Heegaard Floer homology and from the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. For instance, we show that if a non-orientable surface embeds essentially in the product of a lens space with an interval, its genus and normal Euler number are the same as those of a stabilization of a non-orientable surface embedded in the lens space itself. This is joint work with Danny Ruberman and Saso Strle.
