We consider an analogue of well-known Casson knot invariant for knotoids. We start with a direct analogue of the classical construction which gives two different integer-valued knotoid invariants and then focus on its homology extension.…
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 compute the next-to-top term of knot Floer homology for positive braid links. The rank is 1 for any prime positive braid knot. We give some examples of fibered positive links that are not positive braids.
Given a knot in 3-space, one can associate a sequence of Laurrent polynomials, whose $n$th term is the $n$th colored Jones polynomial. The Generalized Volume Conjecture states that the value of the $n$-th colored Jones polynomial at $\exp(2…
Ozsvath and Szabo gave a combinatorial description of knot Floer homology based on a cube of resolutions, which uses maps with twisted coefficients. We study the t=1 specialization of their construction. The associated spectral sequence…
In this note we use Heegaard Floer homology to study smooth cobordisms of algebraic knots and complex deformations of cusp singularities of curves. The main tool will be the concordance invariant $\nu^+$: we study its behaviour with respect…
We show that, for hyperbolic fibred knots in the three-sphere, the volume and the genus are unrelated. Furthermore, for such knots, the volume is unrelated to strong quasipositivity and Seifert form.
A (1,1) knot K in a 3-manifold M is a knot that intersects each solid torus of a genus 1 Heegaard splitting of M in a single trivial arc. Choi and Ko developed a parameterization of this family of knots by a four-tuple of integers, which…
In this paper, we continue the quest to understand the interplay between wrapped Floer homology barcode and topological entropy. Wrapped Floer homology barcode entropy is defined as the exponential growth, with respect to the left…
By proving a connected sum formula for the Legendrian invariant $\lambda_+$ in knot Floer homology we exhibit infinitely many transversely non simple knots.
This paper establishes a new technique that enables us to access some fundamental structural properties of instanton Floer homology. As an application, we establish, for the first time, a relation between the instanton Floer homology of a…
Using contact-geometric techniques and sutured Floer homology, we present an alternate formulation of the minus and plus version of knot Floer homology. We further show how natural constructions in the realm of contact geometry give rise to…
We prove that, like the Seiberg-Witten monopole homology, the Heegaard Floer homology for a three-manifold determines its Thurston norm. As a consequence, we show that knot Floer homology detects the genus of a knot. This leads to new…
We classify genus-two L-space knots in the Poincar\'e homology sphere. This leads to the second knot Floer homology detection result for a knot of genus at least two, and the first such result outside of $S^3$. The argument uses the theory…
We present a braid-theoretic approach to combinatorially computing knot Floer homology. To a knot or link K, which is braided about the standard disk open book decomposition for (S^3,\xi_std), we associate a corresponding multi-pointed nice…
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,…
The Heegaard Floer correction term ($d$-invariant) is an invariant of rational homology 3-spheres equipped with a Spin$^c$ structure. In particular, the correction term of 1-surgeries along knots in $S^3$ is a ($2\mathbb{Z}$-valued) knot…
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…
Ozsvath-Stipsicz-Szabo recently defined a one-parameter family, upsilon of K at t, of concordance invariants associated to the knot Floer complex. We compare their invariant to the {-1, 0, 1}-valued concordance invariant epsilon, which is…
In this paper we extend the idea of bordered Floer homology to knots and links in $S^3$: Using a specific Heegaard diagram, we construct gluable combinatorial invariants of tangles in $S^3$, $D^3$ and $I\times S^2$. The special case of…
