Abstract: We say that a given knot $Jsubset{S}^3$ is detected by its knot Floer homology and $A$-polynomial if whenever a knot $Ksubset{S}^3$ has the same knot Floer homology and the same $A$-polynomial as $J$, then $K=J$. In this paper we show that every torus knot $T(p,q)$ is detected by its knot Floer homology and $A$-polynomial. We also give a one-parameter family of infinitely many hyperbolic knots in $S^3$ each of which is detected by its knot Floer homology and $A$-polynomial. In addition we give a cabling formula for the A-polynomials of cabled knots in $S^3$, which is of independent interest. In particular we give explicitly the A-polynomials of iterated torus knots.
