We prove that the hypothetical extreme Khovanov cohomology of a link is the cohomology of the independence simplicial complex of its Lando graph. We also provide a family of knots having as many non-trivial extreme Khovanov cohomology…

In this paper, we give a new construction of a Khovanov homotopy type. We show that this construction gives a space stably homotopy equivalent to the Khovanov homotopy types constructed in [LS14a] and [HKK] and, as a corollary, that those…

We define a Khovanov-Lipshitz-Sarkar stable homotopy type for the homotopical Khovanov homology of links in the thickened torus after the authors introduced that in the case of higher genus surfaces in the previous paper of this one.

Let $\Delta$ be a trivial knot in the three-sphere. For every finite cyclic group $G$ of odd order, we construct a $G$-equivariant Khovanov homology with coefficients in the filed $\F_{2}$. This homology is an invariant of links up to…

Two link diagrams on compact surfaces are strongly equivalent if they are related by Reidemeister moves and orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the surfaces. They are stably equivalent if they are related by the two previous operations…

We prove that the Khovanov spectra associated to links and tangles are functorial up to homotopy and sign.

In this article, we give an elementary construction of homological invariants of links presented by braid closures. The Euler characteristic of this complex is equal to quantum polynomial invariant of link.

Fix an integer N>1. To each diagram of a link colored by 1,...,N, we associate a chain complex of graded matrix factorizations. We prove that the homotopy type of this chain complex is invariant under Reidemeister moves. When every…

If L is an oriented link with $n$ components, then the rank of its Khovanov homology is at least $2^n$. We classify all the links whose Khovanov homology with Z/2-coefficients achieves this lower bound, and show that such links can be…

In the first part of this paper, we constructed a filtered U(r)-equivariant stable homotopy type called the spectrum of strict broken symmetries sB(L) of links L given by closing a braid with r strands. We further showed that evaluating…

There exists a simplified Bar-Natan Khovanov complex for open 2-braids. The Khovanov cohomology of a knot diagram made by gluing tangles of this type is therefore often amenable to calculation. We lift this idea to the level of the…

We construct an endomorphism of the Khovanov invariant to prove H-thinness and pairing phenomena of the invariants for alternating links. As a consequence, it follows that the Khovanov invariant of an oriented nonsplit alternating link is…

In this paper, we discuss two topics: first, we show how to convert 1+1-topological quantum field theories valued in symmetric bimonoidal categories into stable homotopical data, using a machinery by Elmendorf and Mandell. Then, we discuss,…

We define a Khovanov homotopy type for $sl_2(\mathbb{C})$ colored links and quantum spin networks and derive some of its basic properties. In the case of $n$-colored B-adequate links, we show a stabilization of the homotopy types as the…

We study a module structure on Khovanov homology, which we show is natural under the Ozsvath-Szabo spectral sequence to the Floer homology of the branched double cover. As an application, we show that this module structure detects trivial…

We show that Khovanov homology and Hochschild homology theories share common structure. In fact they overlap: Khovanov homology of a $(2,n)$-torus link can be interpreted as a Hochschild homology of the algebra underlining the Khovanov…

Khovanov homology of a link and chromatic graph homology are known to be isomorphic in a range of homological gradings that depend on the girth of a graph. We discuss patterns shared by these two homology theories. In particular, we improve…

A link homology is defined that is independent of link diagrams. This diagramless homology is closely related to Khovanov homology.
