The next-to-top term in knot Floer homology (Q2697607)

Summary: Let \(K\) be a null-homologous knot in a generalized L-space \(Z\) with \(b_1 (Z) \leq 1\). Let \(F\) be a Seifert surface of \(K\) with genus \(g\). We show that if \(\widehat{\mathrm{HFK}}(Z,K,[F],g)\) is supported in a single \(\mathbb{Z} / 2 \mathbb{Z}\)-grading, then \[ \operatorname{rank} \widehat{\mathrm{HFK}} (Z, K, [F], g - 1) \geq \operatorname{rank} \widehat{\mathrm{HFK}} (Z, K, [F], g). \]
