One application of the immersed-curve technique, introduced by Hanselman-Rasmussen-Watson, is to study rank inequalities for Heegaard Floer homology in the presence of certain degree-one maps. Another application, discovered by Chen, is to describe the knot Floer homology of satellite knots with (1,1)-patterns. We will discuss similar rank inequalities for the knot Floer homology of (1,1)-satellites.
