We refine the Polyak-Viro Gauss diagram formula for the Vassiliev invariant of order two in a very simple way for the 2-cable of a framed long knot. Surprisingly, the resulting isotopy invariant of framed knots can detect already the…

A natural family of potentially 2-torsion elements in the integer homology cobordism group consists of splices of knots with their mirrors. We show that such 3-manifolds have locally trivial involutive Floer homology. We show some related…

We construct the vortex Floer homology group $VHF (M,\mu;H)$ for an aspherical Hamiltonian $G$-manifold $(M, \omega)$ with moment map $\mu$ and a class of $G$-invariant Hamiltonian loop $H_t$, following the proposal of [3]. This is a…

Knotoids were introduced by V. Turaev as open-ended knot-type diagrams that generalize knots. Turaev defined a two-variable polynomial invariant of knotoids which encompasses a generalization of the Jones knot polynomial to knotoids. We…

We survey Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o's bordered approach to knot Floer homology. After a quick introduction to knot Floer homology, we introduce the relevant algebraic concepts ($\mathcal{A}_\infty$-modules, type $D$-structures, box tensor, etc.),…

For an aspherical symplectic manifold, closed or with convex contact boundary, and with vanishing first Chern class, a Floer chain complex is defined for Hamiltonians linear at infinity with coefficients in the group ring of the fundamental…

A Gauss diagram is a simple, combinatorial way to present a link. It is known that any Vassiliev invariant may be obtained from a Gauss diagram formula that involves counting subdiagrams of certain combinatorial types. In this paper we…

In the bordered Floer theory, gluing thickened torus of positive meridional Dehn twist to the boundary of a knot complement result in the knot complement of increased framing. For a fixed knot K, we construct a direct system of positively…

We define the Floer complex for Hamiltonian orbits on the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold satisfying non-local conormal boundary conditions. We prove that the homology of this chain complex is isomorphic to the singular homology of…

Updated rerefences and introduction. Given a knot in an integer homology sphere, one can construct a family of closed 3-manifolds (parametrized by the positive integers), namely the cyclic branched coverings of the knot. In this paper we…

We study the maps induced on link Floer homology by elementary decorated link cobordisms. We compute these for births, deaths, stabilizations, and destabilizations, and show that saddle cobordisms can be computed in terms of maps in a…

In an earlier paper (math.SG/0101206), we introduced Floer homology theories associated to closed, oriented three-manifolds Y and SpinC structures. In the present paper, we give calculations and study the properties of these invariants. The…

We apply the theory of families of (phi,Gamma)-modules to trianguline families as defined by Chenevier. This yields a new definition of Kisin's finite slope subspace as well as higher dimensional analogues. Especially we show that these…

We prove that the knot Floer homology of a fibered knot is nontrivial in its next-to-top Alexander grading. Immediate applications include new proofs of Krcatovich's result that knots with $L$-space surgeries are prime and Hedden and…

The Upsilon invariant of a knot is a concordance invariant derived from knot Floer homology theory. It is a piecewise linear continuous function defined on the interval $[0,2]$. Borodzik and Hedden gave a question asking for which knots the…
