An iterable surgery formula on involutive knot lattice homotopy

In ``Knots in lattice homology", Ozsváth, Stipsicz, and Szabó showed that knot lattice homology satisfies a surgery formula similar to the one relating knot Floer homology and Heegaard Floer homology, and in previous work, I showed that knot lattice homology is the persistent homology of a doubly filtered space. Here I provide an iterable version of the surgery formula that, provided the initial knot lattice space with flip map, produces a space isomorphic as a doubly-filtered space to the corresponding knot lattice space for the dual knot with the corresponding flip map. If we include the involutive data for the original knot and ambient three-manifold, we can also produce the corresponding involutive data on the new knot lattice space without assuming that the original three-manifold is an $L$-space. I construct $\infty$-categories where these operations are functorial. Finally, I use the surgery formula to compute some examples of knot lattice spaces including for the regular fiber of $Σ(2,3,7)$ and for a knot in a three-manifold that is not given by an almost rational graph.

Invariance and naturality of knot lattice homology and homotopy

Links of singularity and generalized algebraic links are ways of constructing three-manifolds and smooth links inside them from potentially singular complex algebraic surfaces and complex curves inside them. We prove that knot lattice homology is an invariant of the smooth knot type of a generalized algebraic knot in a rational homology sphere. In that case, knot lattice homology can be realized as the cellular homology of a doubly-filtered homotopy type, which is itself invariant. Along the way, we show that the topological link type of a generalized algebraic link determines the topology of the minimal plumbing resolution for the nested singularity type used to create it. Knot lattice homotopy is a natural invariant in that diffeomorphisms of the knot that play suitably well with the minimal good resolution will provide a contractible space of morphisms between the doubly-filtered knot lattice spaces associated to any presentation.
