Cables of thin knots and bordered Heegaard Floer homology
by
Ina Petkova
Columbia University

We describe bordered Floer homology, defined by Lipshitz, Ozvath, and Thurston, in the case of torus boundary, and explain how to apply it to compute invariants of satellites of knots. In particular, we give a formula for HFK-hat of any (p, pn+1)-cable of a thin knot K in terms of the Alexander polynomial of K, tau(K), p, and n. We also give a formula for the Ozsvath-Szabo concordance invariant tau(K_{p, pn+1}) in terms of tau(K), p, and n.
