We define and study a bigraded knot invariant whose Euler characteristic is the Alexander polynomial, closely connected to knot Floer homology. The invariant is the homology of a chain complex whose generators correspond to Kauffman states for a knot diagram. The definition uses decompositions of knot diagrams: to a collection of points on the line, we associate a differential graded algebra; to a partial knot diagram, we associate modules over the algebra. The knot invariant is obtained from these modules by an appropriate tensor product.

We define new differential graded algebras A(n,k,S) in the framework of Lipshitz-Ozsvath-Thurstons and Zarevs strands algebras from bordered Floer homology. The algebras A(n,k,S) are meant to be strands models for Ozsvath-Szabos algebras B(n,k,S); indeed, we exhibit a quasi-isomorphism from B(n,k,S) to A(n,k,S). We also show how Ozsvath-Szabos gradings on B(n,k,S) arise naturally from the general framework of group-valued gradings on strands algebras.
We give a generators-and-relations description of differential graded algebras recently introduced by Ozsvath and Szabo for the computation of knot Floer homology. We also compute the homology of these algebras and determine when they are formal.
Given a grid diagram for a knot or link K in $S^3$, we construct a spectrum whose homology is the knot Floer homology of K. We conjecture that the homotopy type of the spectrum is an invariant of K. Our construction does not use holomorphic geometry, but rather builds on the combinatorial definition of grid homology. We inductively define models for the moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic strips and disk bubbles, and patch them together into a framed flow category. The inductive step relies on the vanishing of an obstruction class that takes values in a complex of positive domains with partitions.
We introduce shadow structures for singular knot theory. Precisely, we define emph{two} invariants of singular knots and links. First, we introduce a notion of action of a singquandle on a set to define a shadow counting invariant of singular links which generalize the classical shadow colorings of knots by quandles. We then define a shadow polynomial invariant for shadow structures. Lastly, we enhance the shadow counting invariant by combining both the shadow counting invariant and the shadow polynomial invariant. Explicit examples of computations are given.
Knot Floer homology is a knot invariant defined using holomorphic curves. In more recent work, taking cues from bordered Floer homology,the authors described another knot invariant, called bordered knot Floer homology, which has an explicit algebraic and combinatorial construction. In the present paper, we extend the holomorphic theory to bordered Heegaard diagrams for partial knot projections, and establish a pairing result for gluing such diagrams, in the spirit of the pairing theorem of bordered Floer homology. After making some model calculations, we obtain an identification of a variant of knot Floer homology with its algebraically defined relative. These results give a fast algorithm for computing knot Floer homology.
