A Cube of Resolutions for Knot Floer Homology
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

An Untwisted Cube of Resolutions for Knot Floer Homology
Ozsváth and Szabó 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 converges to knot Floer homology, and we conjecture that its E1 page is isomorphic to the HOMFLY-PT chain complex of Khovanov and Rozansky. At the level of ea...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Knot Floer Homology
This is a survey article about knot Floer homology. We present three constructions of this invariant: the original one using holomorphic disks, a combinatorial description using grid diagrams, and a combinatorial description in terms of the cube of resolutions. We discuss the geometric information carried by knot Floer homology, and the connection to threeand four-dimensional topology via surge...
متن کاملAn Unoriented Skein Exact Triangle for Knot Floer Homology
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.
متن کاملOn the Khovanov and Knot Floer Homologies of Quasi-alternating Links
Quasi-alternating links are a natural generalization of alternating links. In this paper, we show that quasi-alternating links are “homologically thin” for both Khovanov homology and knot Floer homology. In particular, their bigraded homology groups are determined by the signature of the link, together with the Euler characteristic of the respective homology (i.e. the Jones or the Alexander pol...
متن کاملNonseparating spheres and twistedHeegaard Floer homology
Heegaard Floer homology was introduced by Ozsváth and Szabó [16]. For nullhomologous knots, there is a filtered version of Heegaard Floer homology, called knot Floer homology; see Ozsváth and Szabó [14] and Rasmussen [18]. Basically, if one knows the information about the knot Floer homology of a knot, then one can compute the Heegaard Floer homology of any manifold obtained by Dehn surgery on ...
