Hameomorphism Groups of Positive Genus Surfaces
In their previous works arXiv:2105.11026, arXiv:2206.10749, Cristofaro-Gardiner, Humili\`ere, Mak, Seyfaddini and Smith defined links spectral invariants on connected compact surfaces and used them to show various results on the algebraic structure of the group of area-preserving homeomorphisms of surfaces, particularly in cases where the surfaces have genus zero. We show that on surfaces with higher genus, for a certain class of links, the invariants will satisfy a local quasimorphism property. Subsequently, we generalize their results to surfaces of any genus. This extension includes the non-simplicity of (i) the group of hameomorphisms of a closed surface, and (ii) the kernel of the Calabi homomorphism inside the group of hameomorphisms of a surface with non-empty boundary. Moreover, we prove that the Calabi homomorphism extends (non-canonically) to the $C^0$-closure of the set of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of any surface. The local quasimorphism property is a consequence of a quantitative K\"unneth formula for a connected sum in Heegaard Floer homology, inspired by results of Ozsv\'{a}th and Szab\'{o}.
