Applications of 3-manifold Floer Homology

In this thesis we give an exposition of some of the topological preliminaries necessary to understand 3-manifold Floer Homology constructed by Peter Kronheimer and Tomasz Mrowka in [16], along with some properties of this theory, calculations for specific manifolds, and applications to 3-manifold topology.
