On Variations of s-invariants from sl(3)-link homology

Geometric Topology 2025-08-18 v2

Abstract

We use the Mackaay-Vaz universal sl(3)sl(3)-link homology to deepen the study of ss-invariants on Khovanov's link homology associated to sl(3)sl(3). Such ss-invariants have already been studied by Lobb and Wu in characteristic 0 and we show how to extend this to other characteristics, particularly to p=3p=3. We also use Bar-Natan's scanning algorithm for efficient calculations of these invariants, and exhibit more examples of unusual behaviour that has been previously observed by Lewark-Lobb.
