Categorification of the Dichromatic Polynomial for Graphs

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

For each graph and each positive integer nn, we define a chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to an appropriate nn-specialization of the dichromatic polynomial. This also gives a categorification of nn-specializations of the Tutte polynomial of graphs. Also, for each graph and integer n2n\le 2, we define the different one variable nn-specializations of the dichromatic polynomials, and for each polynomial we define graded chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is equal to that polynomial. Furthermore, we explicitly categorify the specialization of the Tutte polynomial for graphs which corresponds to the Jones polynomial of the appropriate alternating link.
