Abstract

Given an $l$ –component pointed oriented link $(L, p)$ in an oriented three-manifold $Y$ , one can construct its link Floer chain complex $C F L (Y, L, p)$ over the polynomial ring $F_{2} [U_{1}, \dots, U_{l}]$ . Moving the basepoint $p_{i} \in L_{i}$ once around the link component $L_{i}$ induces an automorphism of $C F L (Y, L, p)$ . We study a (possibly different) automorphism of $C F L (Y, L, p)$ defined explicitly in terms of holomorphic disks; for links in $S^{3}$ , we show that these two automorphisms are the same.
