We give new link detection results for knot and link Floer homology, inspired by recent work on Khovanov homology. We show that knot Floer homology detects T .2; 4/, T .2; 6/, T .3; 3/, L7n1 and the link T .2; 2n/ with the orientation of one component reversed. We show link Floer homology detects T .2; 2n/ and T .n; n/, for all n. Additionally, we identify infinitely many pairs of links such that both links in the pair are each detected by link Floer homology but have the same Khovanov homology and knot Floer homology. Finally, we use some of our knot Floer detection results to give topological applications of annular Khovanov homology.
Knot Floer homology and link Floer homologyKnot Floer homology and link Floer homology are invariants of links in S 3 , defined using a version of Lagrangian Floer homology [31; 32; 34]. They are categorifications of the single variable and multivariable Alexander polynomials, respectively. Here we briefly highlight the key features of knot Floer homology and link Floer homology that we use to obtain our detection results. We work with coefficients in Z=2Z.
