Study of knot Floer homology and its relation to Heegaard Floer homology via equivariant surgery.

problem Understanding the action of symmetries on knot Floer homology.
method Relating knot Floer homology to Heegaard Floer homology via equivariant surgeries.
result Identify the action of the involution on Heegaard Floer homology with an action on knot Floer homology.

Knot Floer homology is a knot invariant defined using holomorphic curves. In more recent work, taking cues from bordered Floer homology,the authors described another knot invariant, called "bordered knot Floer homology", which has an explicit algebraic and combinatorial construction. In the present paper, we extend the…

We derive symmetries and adjunction inequalities of the knot Floer homology groups which appear to be especially interesting for homologically essential knots. Furthermore, we obtain an adjunction inequality for cobordism maps in knot Floer homologies. We demonstrate the adjunction inequalities and symmetries in explic…

In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot K in S^3: the knot Floer homology groups of the preimage of K in the m-fold cyclic branched cover over K. We exhibit the knot Floer homology in the m-fold branched cover as the categorification of a multiple of the Turaev torsion in the case where the m-fol…

New method connects knot Floer homology with bordered Floer homology.

problem Computing involutive knot Floer homology of satellites.
method Invariant splitting principles for knot Floer complexes and bordered Floer homology.
result Involutive knot Floer homology of satellites can be computed from their companions.

This note explores two questions: (1) Which bigraded groups arise as the knot Floer homology of a knot in the three-sphere? (2) Given a knot, how many distinct knots share its Floer homology? Regarding the first, we show there exist bigraded groups satisfying all previously known constraints of knot Floer homology whic…

problem Computing the framed instanton Floer homology of surgeries on L-space knots.
method Used Baldwin-Sivek contact invariant and proved homogeneity of the invariant.

The paper studies knot Floer homology under Murasugi sum and establishes graded isomorphisms.

method Established a graded version of Ni's isomorphism and proved τ=g for each summand.
result Graded isomorphisms between extremal knot Floer homologies of Murasugi sum and tensor products.

method Developed a new technique using Heegaard diagrams and sutures.
result Established a relation between instanton knot homology and Heegaard diagrams for (1,1)(1,1)-knots.

Let KK be a rationally null-homologous knot in a three-manifold YY. We construct a version of knot Floer homology in this context, including a description of the Floer homology of a three-manifold obtained as Morse surgery on the knot KK. As an application, we express the Heegaard Floer homology of rational surgerie…

A well-known conjecture of Rasmussen states that for any knot KK in S3S^{3}, the rank of the reduced Khovanov homology of KK is greater than or equal to the rank of the reduced knot Floer homology of KK. This rank inequality is supposed to arise as the result of a spectral sequence from Khovanov homology to knot Flo…

Knot Floer homology is an invariant for knots discovered by the authors and, independently, Jacob Rasmussen. The discovery of this invariant grew naturally out of studying how a certain three-manifold invariant, Heegaard Floer homology, changes as the three-manifold undergoes Dehn surgery along a knot. Since its origin…

We develop a method of calculation for the symplectic Floer homology of composite knots. The symplectic Floer homology of knots defined in \cite{li} naturally admits an integer graded lifting, and it formulates a filtration and induced spectral sequence. Such a spectral sequence converges to the symplectic homology of …

Ozsvath and Szabo proved that knot Floer homology determines the genera of knots in S^3. We will generalize this deep result to links in homology 3-spheres, by adapting their method. Our proof relies on a result of Gabai and some constructions related to foliations. We also interpret a theorem of Kauffman in the world …

It is known that knot Floer homology detects the genus and Alexander polynomial of a knot. We investigate whether knot Floer homology of KK detects more structure of minimal genus Seifert surfaces for KK. We define an invariant of algebraically slice, genus one knots and provide examples to show that knot Floer homol…
