Sutured Floer homology and invariants of Legendrian and transverse knots
Sutured Floer homology and invariants of Legendrian and transverse knots
Using contact-geometric techniques and sutured Floer homology, we present an alternate formulation of the minus and plus version of knot Floer homology.We further show how natural constructions in the realm of contact geometry give rise to much of the formal structure relating the various versions of Heegaard Floer homology.In addition, …
