Equivariant sl(n)-link homology

Quantum Algebra 2008-05-08 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

For every positive integer nn we construct a bigraded homology theory for links, such that the corresponding invariant of the unknot is closely related to the U(n)-equivariant cohomology ring of CPn1\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}; our construction specializes to the Khovanov-Rozansky slnsl_n-homology. We are motivated by the "universal" rank two Frobenius extension studied by M. Khovanov in \cite{Kh3} for sl2sl_2-homology.
