Abstract

There is a pp-differential on the triply-graded Khovanov--Rozansky homology of knots and links over a field of positive characteristic pp that gives rise to an invariant in the homotopy category finite-dimensional pp-complexes. A differential on triply-graded homology discovered by Cautis is compatible with the pp-differential structure. As a consequence we get a categorification of the colored Jones polynomial evaluated at a 2p2pth root of unity.
