Abstract
We establish handle attachment formulas for the Khovanov skein lasagna module with 1-dimensional inputs over , defined recently by Ren, Wedrich, Willis, Zhang, and the second author. For a -manifold built out of - and -handles, the invariant can be computed in terms of a cabled colimit of Rozansky-Willis homologies, modulo a new relation which we call the lasso relation. We then present some explicit calculations for disk bundles over , as well as a partial vanishing result for -manifolds of the form , .
