We generalize the construction of the Heegaard Floer homology for a singular knot to that for a balanced bipartite graph. For a given graph, we provide a combinatorial description of the Euler characteristic of its Heegaard Floer homology…

We apply the theory of "peculiar modules" for the Floer homology of 4-ended tangles developed by Zibrowius (specifically, the immersed curve interpretation of the tangle invariants) to compute the Knot Floer Homology ($\widehat{HFK}$) of…

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…

We define a Floer-homology invariant for knots in an oriented three-manifold, closely related to the holomorphic disk Floer homologies for three-manifolds defined in an earlier paper. We set up basic properties of these invariants,…

We describe a new method for combinatorially computing the transverse invariant in knot Floer homology. Previous work of the authors and Stone used braid diagrams to combinatorially compute knot Floer homology of braid closures. However,…

The (untwisted) oriented cube of resolutions for knot Floer homology assigns a complex $C_{F}(S)$ to a singular resolution $S$ of a knot $K$. Manolescu conjectured that when $S$ is in braid position, the homology $H_{*}(C_{F}(S))$ is…

We review some recent results in knot concordance and homology cobordism. The proofs rely on various forms of Heegaard Floer homology. We also discuss related open problems.

In this paper we study the knot Floer homology of a subfamily of twisted $(p, q)$ torus knots where $q \equiv\pm1$ (mod $p$). Specifically, we classify the knots in this subfamily that admit L-space surgeries. To do calculations, we use the…

Using a Heegaard diagram for the pullback of a knot $K \subset S^3$ in its cyclic double branched cover $\Sigma_2(K)$, we give a combinatorial proof for the invariance of knot Floer homology over $\mathbb{Z}$.

We prove that the Knot Floer homology group of a fibred knot of genus g in the Alexander grading 1-g is isomorphic to a version of the fixed point Floer homology of an area-preserving representative of the monodromy.

This is the third paper in a series of papers studying intersection Floer theory of Lagrangians in the complement of a smooth divisor. We complete the construction of Floer homology for such Lagrangians.

We use monopole Floer homology for sutured manifolds to construct invariants of Legendrian knots in a contact 3-manifold. These invariants assign to a knot K in Y elements of the monopole knot homology KHM(-Y,K), and they strongly resemble…

We give a combinatorial treatment of transverse homology, a new invariant of transverse knots that is an extension of knot contact homology. The theory comes in several flavors, including one that is an invariant of topological knots and…

In this paper, we define grid homologies for singular links in lens spaces and use them to construct a resolution cube for knot Floer homology of regular links in lens spaces. The results will first be proved over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$…

Using the theory of perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles, we define a homological invariant of knots in three-manifolds, similar to the three-manifold invariant constructed by Abouzaid and the second author. We use spaces of SL(2,C) flat…

We show that the sutured Floer homology of a sutured 3-manifold of the form $(D^2 \times S^1, F \times S^1)$ can be expressed as the homology of a string-type complex, generated by certain sets of curves on $(D^2, F)$ and with a…
