We prove that if two knots are concordant, their involutive knot Floer complexes satisfy a certain type of stable equivalence.

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…

We define invariants of null--homologous Legendrian and transverse knots in contact 3--manifolds. The invariants are determined by elements of the knot Floer homology of the underlying smooth knot. We compute these invariants, and show that…

We give a method for constructing many pairs of distinct knots $K_0$ and $K_1$ such that the two 4-manifolds obtained by attaching a 2-handle to $B^4$ along $K_i$ with framing zero are diffeomorphic. We use the d-invariants of Heegaard…

There are 352.2 million prime knots in the 3-sphere with at most 19 crossings. We study which of these knots are slice, in both the smooth and topological categories. While no algorithm is known for deciding whether a given knot is slice in…

Two Heegaard Floer knot complexes are called stably equivalent if an acyclic complex can be added to each complex to make them filtered chain homotopy equivalent. Hom showed that if two knots are concordant, then their knot complexes are…

We define several concordance invariants using knot Floer homology which give improvements over known slice genus and clasp number bounds from Heegaard Floer homology. We also prove that the involutive correction terms of Hendricks and…

We discuss an infinite class of metabelian Von Neumann rho-invariants. Each one is a homomorphism from the monoid of knots to the real line. In general they are not well defined on the concordance group. Nonetheless, we show that they pass…

The Upsilon invariant of a knot is a concordance invariant derived from knot Floer homology theory. It is a piecewise linear continuous function defined on the interval $[0,2]$. Borodzik and Hedden gave a question asking for which knots the…

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…

The knot Floer complex together with the associated concordance invariant epsilon can be used to define a filtration on the smooth concordance group. We show that the indexing set of this filtration contains the natural numbers cross the…

We review the construction of Heegaard Floer homology for closed three-manifolds and also for knots and links in the three-sphere. We also discuss three applications of this invariant to knot theory: studying the Thurston norm of a link…

We apply knot Floer homology to exhibit an infinite family of transversely nonsimple prime knots starting with $10_{132}$. We also discuss the combinatorial relationship between grid diagrams, braids, and Legendrian and transverse knots in…

In an earlier paper, we introduced a knot invariant for a null-homologous knot K in an oriented three-manifold Y, which is closely related to the Heegaard Floer homology of Y. In this paper we investigate some properties of these knot…

We give an infinite family of knots such that for any given $r \geq 3$, the family contains a knot which can be embedded on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic, but cannot fit on a hexagonal $r$-mosaic in an embedding that achieves its crossing number.…

We establish inequalities that constrain the genera of smooth cobordisms between knots in 4-dimensional cobordisms. These "relative adjunction inequalities" improve the adjunction inequalities for closed surfaces which have been…

We present the complete classification of the subgroup of the classical knot concordance group generated by knots with eight or fewer crossings. Proofs are presented in summary. We also describe extensions of this work to the case of nine…

Using the techniques on annulus twists, we observe that $6_3$ has infinitely many non-characterizing slopes, which affirmatively answers a question by Baker and Motegi. Furthermore, we prove that the knots $6_2$, $6_3$, $7_6$, $7_7$, $8_1$,…

We investigate the disparity between smooth and topological almost concordance of knots in general 3-manifolds Y. Almost concordance is defined by considering knots in Y modulo concordance in Yx[0,1] and the action of the concordance group…

The Jones unknot conjecture states that the Jones polynomial distinguishes the unknot from nontrivial knots. We prove it for knots up to 23 crossings.
