Abstract: Heegaard floer homology is an invariant of closed 3 manifolds defined by Peter
Ozsvath and Zoltan Szabo. It has proven to be a very strong invariant of 3 manifolds with
connections to contact topology. In these talks we will try to define the Heegaard Floer
homology without assuming much background in low dimensional topology. One more goal is
to present the combinatorial description for this theory.
