Abstract

We examine the relationship between the oriented cube of resolutions for knot Floer homology and HOMFLY-PT homology. By using a filtration induced by additional basepoints on the Heegaard diagram for a knot [Formula: see text], we see that the filtered complex decomposes as a direct sum of HOMFLY-PT complexes of various subdiagrams. Applying Jaeger’s composition product formula for knot polynomials, we deduce that the graded Euler characteristic of this direct sum is the HOMFLY-PT polynomial of [Formula: see text].
