Contact handles, duality, and sutured Floer homology

We give an explicit construction of the Honda–Kazez–Matić gluing maps in terms of contact handles. We use this to prove a duality result for turning a sutured manifold cobordism around and to compute the trace in the sutured Floer TQFT. We also show that the decorated link cobordism maps on the hat...
