Transverse Knots Distinguished by Knot Floer Homology

چکیده
We exhibit pairs of transverse knots with the same self-linking number that are not transversely isotopic, using the recently defined knot Floer homology invariant for transverse knots and some algebraic refinements.

Combinatorial Knot Contact Homology and Transverse Knots
We give a combinatorial treatment of transverse homology, a new invariant of transverse knots that is an extension of knot contact homology. The theory comes in several flavors, including one that is an invariant of topological knots and produces a three-variable knot polynomial related to the A-polynomial. We provide a number of computations of transverse homology that demonstrate its effectiv...
متن کاملA Note on the Knot Floer Homology of Fibered Knots
We prove that the knot Floer homology of a fibered knot is nontrivial in its nextto-top Alexander grading. Immediate applications include new proofs of Krcatovich’s result that knots with L-space surgeries are prime and Hedden and Watson’s result that the rank of knot Floer homology detects the trefoil among knots in the 3-sphere. We also generalize the latter result, proving a similar theorem ...
متن کاملTransversely Non Simple Knots
By proving a connected sum formula for the Legendrian invariant λ+ in knot Floer homology we exhibit infinitely many transversely non simple knots. Moreover we construct knots admitting many non-isotopic transverse representatives with equal selflinking number.
متن کاملDetection of knots and a cabling formula for A-polynomials
We say that a given knot J ⊂ S is detected by its knot Floer homology and A-polynomial if whenever a knot K ⊂ S has the same knot Floer homology and the same A-polynomial as J , then K = J . In this paper we show that every torus knot T (p, q) is detected by its knot Floer homology and A-polynomial. We also give a one-parameter family of infinitely many hyperbolic knots in S each of which is de...
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 ...
