Introduction -- Part I: The Viterbo-Maslov Index -- Part II: Combinatorial lunes -- Part III: Floer homology -- Appendix A: The space of paths -- Appendix B: Diffeomorphisms of the half disc -- Appendix C: Homological algebra -- Appendix D: Asymptotic behavior of holomorphic strips-- Bibliography-- Index.
Summary: The authors define combinatorial Floer homology of a transverse pair of noncontractible nonisotopic embedded loops in an oriented 2 -manifold without boundary, prove that it is invariant under isotopy, and prove that it is isomorphic to the original Lagrangian Floer homology. Their proof uses a formula for the Viterbo-Maslov index for a smooth lune in a 2 -manifold.
