We use unoriented versions of instanton and knot Floer homology to prove inequalities involving the Euler characteristic and the number of local maxima appearing in unorientable cobordisms, which mirror results of a recent paper by Juhasz,…

A companion paper to "On knot Floer homology in branched double covers" applied to braided branched loci. We reprove the main result of that paper concerning alternating branched loci when projected to an annulus, without using Khovanov…

We propose a framework for unifying the sl(N) Khovanov-Rozansky homology (for all N) with the knot Floer homology. We argue that this unification should be accomplished by a triply graded homology theory which categorifies the HOMFLY…

We partially determine grid homology (combinatorial knot Floer homology) of diagonal knots, which are conjectured to be equivalent to positive braid knots, by exploiting nice grid diagrams. Its next-to-top term detects the number of prime…

Let $K_m$ be the result of applying $m$ full twists to $n$ parallel strands in a knot $K$. We prove that extremal knot Floer homologies of $K_m$ stabilize as $m$ goes to infinity.

Using a combinatorial approach described in a recent paper of Manolescu, Ozsv\'ath, and Sarkar we compute the Heegaard-Floer knot homology of all knots with at most 12 crossings as well as the $\tau$ invariant for knots through 11…

We show that the torsion order $\mathrm{Ord}(K)$ of a knot $K$ in knot Floer homology gives a lower bound on the minimum number $n$ such that an oriented $(n+1)$-tangle replacement unknots $K$. This generalizes earlier results by Alishahi…

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…

For pattern knots admitting genus-one bordered Heegaard diagrams, we show the knot Floer chain complexes of the corresponding satellite knots can be computed using immersed curves. This, in particular, gives a convenient way to compute the…

We derive a new exact sequence in the hat-version of Heegaard Floer homology. As a consequence we see a functorial connection between the invariant of Legendrian knots and the contact element. As an application we derive two vanishing…

We prove that knot Floer homology of a certain class of knots is non-trivial in next-to-top Alexander grading. This gives a partial affirmative answer to a question posed by Baldwin and Vela-Vick which asks if the same is true for all…

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…

We define and study a family of link invariants $\mathit{HFK}_{n}(L)$. Although these homology theories are defined using holomorphic disc counts, they share many properties with $sl_{n}$ homology. Using these theories, we give a framework…

We prove the existence of an exact triangle for the Pin(2)-monopole Floer homology groups of three manifolds related by specific Dehn surgeries on a given knot. Unlike the counterpart in usual monopole Floer homology, only two of the three…

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 $\mathbb{Z}$.

This paper is devoted to the study of the knot Floer homology groups HFK(S^3,K_{2,n}), where K_{2,n} denotes the (2,n) cable of an arbitrary knot, K. It is shown that for sufficiently large |n|, the Floer homology of the cabled knot depends…
