I will talk about a connection between graph theory and sutured Floer homology. In fact, there is a one to one correspondence between hypergraphs of a planar bipartite graph and the dimension of sutured Floer homology of a complement of a neighborhood of special alternating link In a three sphere. This is based on the work of Juhas, Kalman and Rasmussen.
