I’ll try and give some background on the definition of knot Floer homology, and perhaps also bordered Heegaard Floer homology if time permits.

Heegaard Floer homology gives a powerful invariant of closed 3-manifolds. It is always computable in the purely combinatorial sense, but usually computing it needs a very hard work. However, for certain graph 3-manifolds, its minus-flavored Heegaard Floer homology can be easily computed in terms of lattice homology, due to Nemethi. I plan to give the basic definitions and constructions of Heegaard Floer theory and lattice homology, as well as the isomorphism between those two objects.
