We introduce a family of generalized Schr\"oder polynomials $S_\tau(q,t,a)$, indexed by triangular partitions $\tau$ and prove that $S_\tau(q,t,a)$ agrees with the Poincar\'e series of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the…

We extend Lee's result on sl(2) Khovanov cohomology of a link L to the general sl(n) case: a filtered chain complex C(L) whose spectral sequence E_2 term equals Khovanov cohomology is exhibited. We also compute C(L)'s cohomology: it depends…

We prove that the Khovanov homology of alternating knots and 2-component links is equal (as a singly graded group) to the singular homology of a certain space of trace- free, binary dihedral representations of the link group. More…

In [Duke Math. J. 101 (1999) 359-426], Mikhail Khovanov constructed a homology theory for oriented links, whose graded Euler characteristic is the Jones polynomial. He also explained how every link cobordism between two links induces a…

We study the structure of triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology using both the data recently computed by Nakagane and Sano for knots up to 11 crossings, and the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ action defined by the second author, Hogancamp and…

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we give a fully geometric description of the HOMFLYPT homology of Khovanov-Rozansky. Our method is to construct this invariant in terms of the cohomology of various sheaves on certain algebraic…

New invariants of links are constructed using the skein invariant polynomial of colored links defined by the author in [1]. These invariants are stronger than the homflypt polynomial.

In this paper we provide a means of certifying infinitesimal projective rigidity relative to the cusp for hyperbolic once punctured torus bundles in terms of twisted Alexander polynomials of representations associated to the holonomy. We…

Motivated by the $y$-ification of HOMFLY--PT homology by Gorsky and Hogancamp, and the $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-action of Gorsky, Hogancamp, and Mellit, we construct $y$-ifications of Khovanov homology and its equivariant versions within…

We construct a Hennings type logarithmic invariant for restricted quantum $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ at a $2\mathsf{p}$-th root of unity. This quantum group $U$ is not braided, but factorizable. The invariant is defined for a pair: a 3-manifold $M$…

We construct a supercategory that can be seen as a skew version of (thickened) KLR algebras for the type $A$ quiver. We use our supercategory to construct homological invariants of tangles and show that for every link our invariant gives a…

We compute the reduced version of Khovanov and Rozansky's sl(N) homology for two-bridge knots and links. The answer is expressed in terms of the HOMFLY polynomial and signature.

We give a cabling formula for the Links--Gould polynomial of knots colored with a $4n$-dimensional irreducible representation of $\mathrm{U}^H_q\mathfrak{sl}(2|1)$ and identify them with the $V_n$-polynomial of knots for $n=2$. Using the…

We compare eight versions of finite-dimensional categorifications of the colored Jones polynomial and show that they yield isomorphic results over a field of characteristic zero. As an application, we verify a physics-motivated conjectural…

Khovanov homology for knots has generated a flurry of activity in the topology community. This paper studies the Khovanov type cohomology for graphs with a special attention to torsions. When the underlying algebra is $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2)$,…

Using a modified foam evaluation, we give a categorification of the Alexander polynomial of a knot. We also give a purely algebraic version of this knot homology which makes it appear as the infinite page of a spectral sequence starting at…

We give a fresh introduction to the Khovanov Homology theory for knots and links, with special emphasis on its extension to tangles, cobordisms and 2-knots. By staying within a world of topological pictures a little longer than in other…

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…
