Abstract

We establish an isomorphism between the Khovanov-Rozansky triply graded link homology and the geometric triply graded homology due to the authors. Hence we provide an interpretation of the Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the closure of a braid β\beta as the space of derived sections of a C×C\mathbb{C}^*\times \mathbb{C}^*- equivariant sheaf Tr(β)Tr(\beta) on the Hilbert scheme Hilbn(C2)Hilb_n(\mathbb{C}^2), thus proving a version of Gorsky-Negut-Rasmussen conjecture \cite{GorskyNegutRasmussen16}. As a consequence we prove that Khovanov-Rozansky homology of knots satisfies the qt/qq\to t/q symmetry conjectured by Dunfield-Gukov-Rasmussen \cite{DunfieldGukovRasmussen06}. We also apply our main result to compute the Khovanov-Rozansky homology of torus links.
