Originating Calendar: Groups, Geometry, and Topology Calendar; In this talk we discuss using the mapping cone formula and the d-invariants from Heegaard Floer homology as tools for obstructing reducible surgeries on certain classes of knots. This will be an introduction to these techniques and no prior knowledge of knot Floer homology will be assumed.
