An unoriented skein exact triangle for knot Floer homology

Ciprian Manolescu

Published 2006-09-19, updated 2008-02-14Version 3

Given a crossing in a planar diagram of a link in the three-sphere, we show that the knot Floer homologies of the link and its two resolutions at that crossing are related by an exact triangle. As a consequence, we deduce that for any quasi-alternating knot, the total rank of its knot Floer homology is equal to the determinant of the knot.
