An Unoriented Skein Exact Triangle for Knot Floer Homology
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a crossing in a planar diagram of a link in the three-sphere, we show that the knot Floer homologies of the link and its two resolutions at that crossing are related by an exact triangle. As a consequence, we deduce that for any quasi-alternating link, the total rank of its knot Floer homology is equal to the determinant of the link.

On the Skein Exact Squence for Knot Floer Homology
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 HF−. Moreover, a complete argument is also given purely within the realm of grid diagrams.
متن کاملA Cube of Resolutions for Knot Floer Homology
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.
متن کاملFloer Homology and Knot Complements
We use the Ozsváth-Szabó theory of Floer homology to define an invariant of knot complements in three-manifolds. This invariant takes the form of a filtered chain complex, which we call ĈF r. It carries information about the Ozsváth-Szabó Floer homology of large integral surgeries on the knot. Using the exact triangle, we derive information about other surgeries on knots, and about the maps on ...
متن کاملKhovanov Homology Detects the Trefoils
We prove that Khovanov homology detects the trefoils. Our proof incorporates an array of ideas in Floer homology and contact geometry. It uses open books; the contact invariants we defined in the instanton Floer setting; a bypass exact triangle in sutured instanton homology, proven here; and Kronheimer and Mrowka’s spectral sequence relating Khovanov homology with singular instanton knot homolo...
متن کاملBordered Heegaard Floer Homology: Invariance and Pairing
We construct Heegaard Floer theory for 3-manifolds with connected boundary. The theory associates to an oriented two-manifold a di erential graded algebra. For a three-manifold with speci ed boundary, the invariant comes in two di erent versions, one of which (type D) is a module over the algebra and the other of which (type A) is an A∞ module. Both are well-de ned up to chain homotopy equivale...
