48 results for knot homologies

Knot contact homology is an invariant of knots derived from Legendrian contact homology which has numerous connections to the knot group. We use basic properties of knot groups to prove that knot contact homology detects every torus knot. Further, if the knot contact homology of a knot is isomorphic to that of a cable …

Study grid homology of diagonal knots, finding key terms related to prime factors and decompositions.

problem Determine grid homology of diagonal knots and compare them to other knot types.
method Use grid diagrams and combinatorial knot Floer homology to analyze diagonal knots.
result Grid homology detects the number of prime factors and decompositions of the knot into non-integer tangles.

Any knot in S3S^3 may be reduced to a slice knot by crossing changes. Indeed, this slice knot can be taken to be the unknot. In this paper we study the question of when the same holds for knots in homology spheres. We show that a knot in a homology sphere is nullhomotopic in a smooth homology ball if and only if that k…

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…

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…

The paper conjectures Khovanov homology can distinguish torus and twist knots.

problem Detecting and distinguishing knots using Khovanov homology.
method Examining all prime knots with up to 20 crossings, conjecturing Legendrian simplicity.
result Numerical evidence supports Khovanov homology distinguishing torus and twist knots.

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…

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…

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…

problem Accessing structural properties of instanton Floer homology.
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.

We show that the knot lattice homology of a knot in an L-space is equivalent to the knot Floer homology of the same knot (viewed these invariants as filtered chain complexes over the polynomial ring Z/2Z [U]). Suppose that G is a negative definite plumbing tree which contains a vertex w such that G-w is a union of rati…

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…
