An instanton take on some knot detection results
Published 7 Nov 2022 in math.GT and math.QA | (2211.03743v2)
Abstract: We give new proofs that Khovanov homology detects the figure eight knot and the cinquefoils, and that HOMFLY homology detects $5_2$ and each of the $P(-3,3,2n+1)$ pretzel knots. For all but the figure eight these mostly follow the same lines as in previous work. The key difference is that in honor of Tom Mrowka's 60th birthday, the arguments here use instanton Floer homology rather than knot Floer homology.
