Cabling formula and colored knot Floer homology
Abstract
We study colored knot Floer homology via a bordered cabling construction. We construct a cabling module and identify the connecting maps in the defining direct system at the level of this module. By taking the colimit at the chain level, we obtain a general formula for colored knot Floer homology of an arbitrary knot in terms of its ordinary knot Floer homology and the colored unknot algebra. This extends the computation of Alishahi-Gorsky-Liu from L-space knots to all knots.
