In this paper, we research the grid homology for spatial graphs with cut edges. We show that the grid homology for spatial graph $f$ is trivial if $f$ has sinks, sources, or cut edges. As an application, we give purely combinatorial proofs…
Grid homology for MOY graphs is immediately defined from grid homology for transverse spatial graphs developed by Harvey and O'Donnol in 2017. We studied some properties of grid homology for MOY graphs such as the oriented skein relation,…
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…
This article presents a survey of some recent results in the theory of spatial graphs. In particular, we highlight results related to intrinsic knotting and linking and results about symmetries of spatial graphs. In both cases we consider…
We provide a purely combinatorial proof of a skein exact sequence obeyed by double-point enhanced grid homology. We also extend the theory to coefficients over $\mathbb{Z},$ and discuss alternatives to the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o $\tau$…
We define smooth notions of concordance and sliceness for spatial graphs. We prove that sliceness of a spatial graph is equivalent to a condition on a set of linking numbers together with sliceness of a link associated to the graph. This…
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 $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$…
We develop a skein exact sequence for knot Floer homology, involving singular knots. This leads to an explicit, algebraic description of knot Floer homology in terms of a braid projection of the knot.
We introduce and study elementary properties of graph homology of algebras. This new homology theory shares many features of cyclic and Hochschild homology. We also define a graph K-theory together with an analog of Chern character.
Two natural generalizations of knot theory are the study of spatial graphs and virtual knots. Our goal is to unify these two approaches into the study of virtual spatial graphs. This paper is a survey, and does not contain any new results.…
We use grid diagrams to present a unified picture of braids, Legendrian knots, and transverse knots.
Grid diagrams encode useful geometric information about knots in S^3. In particular, they can be used to combinatorially define the knot Floer homology of a knot K in S^3, and they have a straightforward connection to Legendrian…
Graphs with given k vertices generate an (acyclic) simplicial complex. We describe the homology of its quotient complex, formed by all connected graphs, and demonstrate its applications to the topology of braid groups, knot theory,…
We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…
In this paper, we define the set of singular grid diagrams $\mathcal{SG}$ which provides a unified description for singular links, singular Legendrian links, singular transverse links, and singular braids. We also classify the complete set…
We describe the spectral theory of the adjacency operator of a graph which is isomorphic to homogeneous trees at infinity. Using some combinatorics, we reduce the problem to a scattering problem for a finite rank perturbation of the…
Persistent Homology is a powerful tool in Topological Data Analysis (TDA) to capture topological properties of data succinctly at different spatial resolutions. For graphical data, shape, and structure of the neighborhood of individual data…
In this paper, we compute the graph skein algebra of the punctured disk with two holes. Then, we apply the graph skein techniques developed here to establish necessary conditions for a spatial graph to have a symmetry of order $p$, where…
In this paper, we construct a new homology theory for semi-groups satisfying the self distributivity axiom or the idempotency axiom. Next, we consider the geometric realization corresponding to the homology theory. We continue with the…
In a previous work, we defined an unoriented skein exact triangle in unoriented link Floer homology. In this paper, we iterate a modified version of this exact triangle and obtain a spectral sequence from various versions of Khovanov…
