##### Abstract

The (untwisted) oriented cube of resolutions for knot Floer homology assigns a complex ${C}_{F}\left(S\right)$ to a singular resolution $S$ of a knot $K$. Manolescu conjectured that when $S$ is in braid position, the homology ${H}_{\ast }\left({C}_{F}\left(S\right)\right)$ is isomorphic to the homfly-pt homology of $S\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}$. Together with a naturality condition on the induced edge maps, this conjecture would prove the existence of a spectral sequence from homfly-pt homology to knot Floer homology. Using a basepoint filtration on ${C}_{F}\left(S\right)$, a recursion formula for homfly-pt homology and additional ${\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_{n}$–like differentials on ${C}_{F}\left(S\right)$, we prove Manolescu’s conjecture. The naturality condition remains open.
