Abstract
Consider an unknot in and a knot in . Twisting the knot along , or equivalently applying -surgery on , produces a family of knots . We use bordered Floer homology and the theory of immersed curve invariants to show that for , total dimension of , and thickness of are linear functions of . Furthermore, we prove that the extremal coefficients of the Alexander polynomial and extremal knot Floer homologies of stabilize as goes to infinity. This generalizes results of Chen, Lambert-Cole, Roberts, Van Cott and the author on coherent twist families.
