Abstract

Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an extension of Ozsvath-Szabos Heegaard Floer homology to 3-manifolds with boundary, enjoying good properties with respect to gluings. In these notes we will introduce the key features of bordered Heegaard Floer homology: its formal structure, a precise definition of the invariants of surfaces, a sketch of the definitions of the 3-manifold invariants, and some hints at the analysis underlying the theory. We also talk about bordered Heegaard Floer homology as a computational tool, both in theory and practice.
