The universal sl(2) cohomology via webs and foams

Geometric Topology 2009-04-09 v2

Abstract

We construct the universal sl(2)-tangle cohomology using an approach with webs and dotted foams. This theory depends on two parameters, and for the case of links it is a categorification of the unnormalized Jones polynomial of the link.
