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,…

We study a module structure on Khovanov homology, which we show is natural under the Ozsvath-Szabo spectral sequence to the Floer homology of the branched double cover. As an application, we show that this module structure detects trivial…

We define band maps in unoriented link Floer homology and show that they form an unoriented skein exact triangle. These band maps are similar to the band maps in equivariant Khovanov homology given by the Lee deformation. As a key tool, we…

We prove a number of fundamental properties about instanton knot Floer homology. Our arguments rely on general properties of sutured Floer theories and apply also in the Heegaard Floer and monopole Floer settings, where many of our results…

We define two concordance invariants of knots using framed instanton homology. These invariants $\nu^\sharp$ and $\tau^\sharp$ provide bounds on slice genus and maximum self-linking number, and the latter is a concordance homomorphism which…

We construct cobordism maps for the \textit{minus} version of instanton knot homology associated to a \textit{specially decorated} knot cobordisms of arbitrary genus between two null-homologous knots in closed oriented $3$-manifolds. As an…

We show that there is a spectral sequence with $E^2$-page given by the Khovanov homology of a link in $S^1\times S^2$, as defined by Rozansky in arXiv:1011.1958, which converges to the Hochschild homology of an $A_\infty$-bimodule defined…

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 define several equivariant concordance invariants using knot Floer homology. We show that our invariants provide a lower bound for the equivariant slice genus and use this to give a family of strongly invertible slice knots whose…

We prove an exact triangle relating knot instanton Floer homology to the instanton homology of surgeries along the knot. To the author's knowledge, this is the first such result in instanton homology with integer coefficients and has no…

We introduce a framework for defining concordance invariants of knots using equivariant singular instanton Floer theory with Chern-Simons filtration. It is demonstrated that many of the concordance invariants defined using instantons in…

For strongly invertible knots, we define an involutive version of Khovanov homology, and from it derive a pair of integer-valued invariants $(\underline{s}, \bar{s})$, which is an equivariant version of Rasmussen's $s$-invariant. Using…

We define a link homology theory that is readily seen to be both isomorphic to reduced odd Khovanov homology and fully determined by data impervious to Conway mutation. This gives an elementary proof that odd Khovanov homology is mutation…

This is a companion paper to an earlier work of the authors. In this paper, we provide an axiomatic definition of Floer homology for balanced sutured manifolds and prove that the graded Euler characteristic $\chi_{\rm gr}$ of this homology…

Suppose $\Sigma$ is a compact oriented surface (possibly with boundary) that has genus zero, and L is a link in the interior of $(-1,1)\times\Sigma$. We prove that the Asaeda-Przytycki-Sikora (APS) homology of L has rank 2 if and only if L…

In this paper, we define real link Floer homology for strongly invertible and doubly periodic links in closed real $3$-manifolds with connected fixed sets, which generalizes real Heegaard Floer homology and real sutured Heegaard Floer…

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 partially solve the conjecture by A.Shumakovitch about torsion in the Khovanov homology of prime, non-split links in S^3. We give a size restriction on the Khovanov homology of almost alternating links. We relate the Khovanov homology of…

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 define a third grading on Khovanov homology, which is an invariant of annular links but changes by $\pm 1$ under stabilization. We illustrate the use of our computer implementation, and give some example calculations.
