Holomorphic triangle maps in sutured Floer homology

Honda, Kazez and Matic defined maps on sutured Floer homology induced by a contact structure. I'll explain how to compute these maps using holomorphic triangle counts and give some applications to computing sutured Floer homologies and sutured contact invariants.
