The next-to-top term of the knot Floer homology of some non-fibered knots

Fraser Binns, Shunyu Wan

Sivek conjectured that the rank of knot Floer homology in the next-to-top Alexander grading is at least the rank in the top Alexander grading. Baldwin and Vela-Vick verified this c…

Real sutured Heegaard Floer homology

Fraser Binns, Gary Guth, Yonghan Xiao

We develop a theory of real sutured manifolds and a real Heegaard Floer theory for these manifolds. We develop a notion of real nice diagrams, and prove that our invariant is combi…

On Heegaard Floer minimal knots in sutured manifolds

Fraser Binns

Li-Xie-Zhang classified instanton Floer minimal knots in balanced sutured manifolds subject to a condition on the fundamental group. In this paper, we give a similar classification…

Degree-1 maps and rank inequalities in Heegaard Floer homology

Fraser Binns, Sudipta Ghosh

Ghosh-Sivek-Zentner constructed degree-1 maps from certain rational homology solid tori to the twisted -bundle over the Klein bottle. We show that these maps yield rank inequali…

Studying links via booklinks: A Markov theorem

Roman Aranda, Fraser Binns, Margaret Doig

We introduce "book links" as a generalization of braids in open book decompositions; this new class of objects includes both braids and plats as special cases. We then prove a vers…

Closures of -braids and detection

Fraser Binns

We give some new link detection results for link Floer homology, Khovanov homology and annular Khovanov homology. The links we detect arise via different closure operations on -…
