In particular, such TQFTs are classified by fully dualisable objects together with a trivialisation of the $r$th power of their Serre automorphisms. For $r=1$, we recover the oriented case (on which our proof builds), while ordinary spin structures correspond to $r=2$. To construct examples, we explicitly describe $mathrm{Spin}_2^r$-homotopy fixed points in the equivariant completion of any symmetric monoidal 2-category. We also show that every object in a 2-category of Landau–Ginzburg models gives rise to fully extended spin TQFTs and that half of these do not factor through the oriented bordism 2-category.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"238 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136185733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we provide an axiomatic definition of Floer homology for balanced sutured manifolds and prove that the graded Euler characteristic $chi_{rm gr}$ of this homology is fully determined by the axioms we proposed. As a result, we conclude that $chi_{rm gr}(SHI(M,gamma))=chi_{rm gr}(SFH(M,gamma))$ for any balanced sutured manifold $(M,gamma)$. In particular, for any link $L$ in $S^3$, the Euler characteristic $chi_{rm gr}(KHI(S^3,L))$ recovers the multi-variable Alexander polynomial of $L$, which generalizes the knot case. Combined with the authors' earlier work, we provide more examples of $(1,1)$-knots in lens spaces whose $KHI$ and $widehat{HFK}$ have the same dimension. Moreover, for a rationally null-homologous knot in a closed oriented 3-manifold $Y$, we construct canonical $mathbb{Z}_2$-gradings on $KHI(Y,K)$, the decomposition of $I^sharp(Y)$ discussed in the previous paper, and the minus version of instanton knot homology $underline{rm KHI}^-(Y,K)$ introduced by the first author.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86984989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
