Abstract:

We show that an infinite family of contractible $4$-manifolds has the same boundary as a special type of plumbing. Consequently the Ozsváth–Szabó invariants can be calculated algorithmically. We run this algorithm for the first few members of the family and list the resulting Heegaard Floer homologies. We also show that the rank of the Heegaard Floer homology can get arbitrarily large values in this family by using its relation with the Casson invariant. For comparison, we list the ranks of Floer homologies of all the examples of Brieskorn spheres that are known to bound contractible manifolds.
