Fourier transforms and integer homology cobordism

Abstract

We explore the Fourier transform of the Heegaard Floer $d$-invariants, which is particularly well-behaved with respect to connected sum. As corollaries, we show that lens spaces are cancellable in the monoid of 3-manifolds up to integer homology cobordism, and we recover a theorem of Gonz\'alez-Acu\~na--Short on Alexander polynomials of knots with reducible surgeries.
