Title A Computation Of Knot Floer Homology Of Special (1,1)-Knots
Summary We will introduce Heegaard decompositions and Heegaard diagrams for three-manifolds and for three-manifolds containing a knot. We define
(1,1)-knots and explain the method to obtain the Heegaard diagram for some special (1,1)-knots, and prove that torus knots and 2-bridge knots are (1,1)-knots. We also define the knot Floer chain complex by using the theory of holomorphic disks and their moduli space, and give more explanation on the chain complex of genus-1 Heegaard diagram.
Finally, we compute the knot Floer homology groups of the trefoil knot and the (-3,4)-torus knot.
