| contents | We study a relationship between the Heegaard Floer homology correction terms of integral homology spheres and the word metric on the Torelli group. For example, we give an elementary proof that the Cayley graph of the Torelli group has infinite diameter in the word metric induced by the generating set of all separating twists and bounding pair maps. On the other hand, we show that many subsets of the Torelli group are bounded with respect to this metric. Finally, we address the case of rational homology spheres by ruling out a certain Morita-type formula for congruence subgroups of mapping class groups. |
