The authors define combinatorial Floer homology of a transverse pair of noncontractible nonisotopic embedded loops in an oriented \(2\)-manifold without boundary, prove that it is invariant under isotopy, and prove that it is isomorphic to the original Lagrangian Floer homology. Their proof uses a formula for the Viterbo-Maslov index for a smooth lune in a \(2\)-manifold.
