The quotient of \\widetilde{K} under the action is a second knot K. We construct equivariant Heegaard diagrams for q-periodic knots, and show that Murasugi's classical condition on the Alexander polynomials of periodic knots is a quick consequence of these diagrams. For \\widetilde{K} a two-periodic knot, we show there is a spectral sequence whose E^1 page is \\hat{\\mathit{HFL}}(S^3,\\widetilde{K}\\cup U)\\otimes V^{\\otimes (2n-1)})\\otimes \\mathbb Z_2((\\theta)) and whose E^{\\infty} pages is isomorphic to (\\hat{\\mathit{HFL}}(S^3,K\\cup U)\\otimes V^{\\otimes (n-1)})\\otimes \\mathbb Z_2((\\theta)), as \\mathbb Z_2((\\theta))-modules, and a related spectral sequence whose E^1 page is (\\hat{\\mathit{HFK}}(S^3,\\widetilde{K})\\otimes V^{\\otimes (2n-1)}\\otimes W)\\otimes \\mathbb Z_2((\\theta)) and whose E^{\\infty} page is isomorphic to (\\hat{\\mathit{HFK}}(S^3,K)\\otimes V^{\\otimes (n-1)} \\otimes W)\\otimes \\mathbb Z_2((\\theta)). As a consequence, we use these spectral sequences to recover a classical lower bound of Edmonds on the genus of \\widetilde{K}, along with a weak version of a classical fibredness result of Edmonds and Livingston.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-26T13:51:26.000Z", "title": "A note on the link Floer homology of doubly-periodic knots", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-10-07T17:35:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M27", "57R58", "53D40" ], "keywords": [ "link floer homology", "doubly-periodic knots", "spectral sequence", "construct equivariant heegaard diagrams", "q-periodic knots" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.5989H" } } }
