We explore certain restrictions on knots in the three-sphere which admit non-trivial Seifert fibered surgeries. These restrictions stem from the Heegaard Floer homology for Seifert fibered spaces, and hence they have consequences for both…
In this paper we investigate the question of when different surgeries on a knot can produce identical manifolds. We show that given a knot in a homology sphere, unless the knot is quite special, there is a bound on the number of slopes that…
We iterate Manolescu's unoriented skein exact triangle in knot Floer homology with coefficients in the field of rational functions over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. The result is a spectral sequence which converges to a stabilized version of…
We prove a conjecture of Migdail and Wehrli regarding the odd Khovanov cobordism maps associated to knotted spheres. Our key tool is Daemi's plane Floer homology, which we use in place of a Lee deformation. Continuing the analogy with Lee…
Let $K$ be a rationally null-homologous knot in a three-manifold $Y$. 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…

We provide a diagrammatic computation for the bilinear form, which is defined as the pairing between the (relative) cup products with every local coefficients and every integral homology 2-class of every links in the 3-sphere. As a…
This article is a standalone introduction to sutured Floer homology for graduate students in geometry and topology. It is divided into three parts. The first part is an introductory level exposition of Lagrangian Floer homology. The second…
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…
The earlier article tried to construct an algorithm to compute the Heegaard Floer homology \hat{HF}(Y) for a 3-manifold Y. However there is an error in a proof which the author, as of now, is unable to fix.
We associate several invariants to a knot in an integer homology 3-sphere using $SU(2)$ singular instanton gauge theory. There is a space of framed singular connections for such a knot, equipped with a circle action and an equivariant…
We prove that twisted correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology provide lower bounds on the Thurston norm of certain cohomology classes determined by the strong concordance class of a 2-component link $L$ in $S^3$. We then specialise this…
By studying the Heegaard Floer homology of the preimage of a knot K in S^3 inside its double branched cover, we develop simple obstructions to K having finite order in the classical smooth concordance group. As an application, we prove that…
For a knot K and its knot Floer complex CFK^-(K), we introduce an algorithm to compute the bordered Floer bimodule of the complement of the knot and its meridian. The grading of the module computes spin^c-summands of a meridional knot in…
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 Taubes' periodic ends theorem, Auckly gave examples of toroidal and hyperbolic irreducible integer homology spheres which are not surgery on a knot in the three-sphere. We give an obstruction to a homology sphere being surgery on a…
We define a notion of Heegaard Floer homology for three dimensional orbifolds with arbitrary cyclic singularities, generalizing the recent work of Biji Wong where the singular locus is assumed to be connected.
The aim of this paper is to study the skein exact sequence for knot Floer homology. We prove precise graded version of this sequence, and also one using $\HFm$. Moreover, a complete argument is also given purely within the realm of grid…
The Burau representation of braid groups and knot Floer homology share a link to the Fox calculus. We make this connection explicit, with the following outcome: if $B$ is the full Burau matrix of any braid, and $A$ is any square submatrix…
Generalizing prior work of Levine, we give infinitely many examples of pattern knots P such that P(K) is not slice in any rational homology 4-ball, for any companion knot K. To show this, we establish a closed formula for the concordance…
