We discussed some work of Oszvath and Szabo. There are four long papers, available on the math ArXiv. For convenience, we have 2-up postscript versions of the four papers (that is, with two logical pages per physical page), as well as links to the original ArXiv postings. The 2-up versions are current as of November 1, 2001:

  1. Holomorphic disks and topological invariants for rational homology three-spheres. 2-up and ArXiv.
  2. Holomorphic disks and three-manifold invariants: properties and applications. 2-up and ArXiv.
  3. Holomorphic triangles and invariants for smooth four-manifolds. 2-up and ArXiv.
  4. Absolutely graded Floer homologies and intersection forms for four-manifolds with boundary. 2-up and ArXiv.
