Calculations for torus knots are explained in terms of pictures in the punctured plane. The relation to the reduced instanton homology of knots is explored.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-30T21:57:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27", "57R58", "57M25", "81T13" ], "keywords": [ "pillowcase", "knot groups", "lagrangian-floer theory", "traceless representations", "graded lagrangian-floer chain complex" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 66, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1336400, "adsabs": "2015arXiv150100028H" } } }
