The aim of the present paper is to investigate these groups for several specific families of knots, including the Kinoshita-Terasaka knots and their ``Conway mutants''. These results show that $\\HFKa$ contains more information than the Alexander polynomial and the signature of these knots; and they also illustrate the fact that $\\HFKa$ detects mutation. We also calculate $\\HFKa$ for certain pretzel knots, and knots with small crossing number ($n\\leq 9$). Our calculations prove that many of the knots considered here admit no Seifert fibered surgeries.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-03-02T02:05:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R58", "53D40" ], "keywords": [ "knot floer homology", "genus bounds", "seifert fibered surgeries", "specific families", "kinoshita-terasaka knots" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......3225O" } } }
