Abstract
In the summer of 2009, our group developed a computer program that computes Hochschild Homology, a topological invariant. While we must assume that the reader has at least encountered algebraic topology, in this paper we provide the mathematical background and motivation for our algorithm. After presenting a number of definitions, we will explain how the algorithm works. Specifically, we first define the Floer complex of two curves on surface; the resulting homology is invariant under isotopies. Then, we introduce the Fukaya category associated to a sequence of curves. Next, we define the Hochschild complex of the Fukaya category. And finally, we describe an algorithm for computing Hochschild Homology and provide some examples.
