Accepted or published

Roughly, my work so far falls into four categories: bordered Heegaard Floer homology, an extension of Heegaard Floer homology to 3-manifolds with boundary; equivariant Lagrangian intersection Floer homology and its applications to Heegaard Floer homology and symplectic Khovanov homology; other topics in Heegaard Floer homology; and Khovanov homology and its stable homotopy refinement. (There is some overlap.) Papers in each category are in approximately the order they were written. A link to each paper on the arXiv and its review on MathSciNet is at the end of each entry. I have not read any of these reviews.

Bordered Heegaard Floer homology

Expository

"A faithful linear-categorical action of the mapping class group of a surface with boundary," above, is also partly expository.

Equivariant Floer homology

See also "Noncommutative Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence and the Heegaard Floer homology of double covers", above.

Other topics in Heegaard Floer homology

Khovanov homology and homotopy
