Abstract

We construct an operator on sl(N) link homology with coefficients in a ring whose characteristic divides N. When P is prime, we use this operator to exhibit structural features of sl(P) link homology that are special to characteristic P that generalize well-known features of Khovanov homology that are special to characteristic 2.
