Heegard diagrams for three-manifolds
I have a basic question about the Heegaard diagrams involved in providing a framework
for calculation of Floer-Homology of three-manifolds.
Typically such diagrams look like Figure 1 and Figure 2 here ...

Monopole Floer Homology vs. Heegaard-Floer theory
I have a (possibly very naive) question: what is the relation between Monopole Floer Homology and Heegaard-Floer theory? (both known and conjectured)
Is there some version of Atiyah-Floer conjecture ...

Do we get a instanton $S^{3}$ if we do $1/n$ surgery on a knot in $S^{3}$?
Consider the following question:
Let $K\subset S^{3}$ be a nontrivial knot, and let $Y$ be the manifold obtained by doing $1/n$-surgery ($n\geq1$). Is it possible that the instanton Floer homology of $...

Where are $+$, $-$ and $\infty$ in bordered Heegaard-Floer theory?
Here goes my first MO-question. I've just read Lipshitz, Ozsváth and Thurston's recently updated "A tour of bordered Floer theory". To set the stage let me give two quotes from this paper.
Heegaard ...
