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…

We prove that every $\mathbb{Z}_2$H-thin link has no $2^k$-torsion for $k>1$ in its Khovanov homology. Together with previous results by Eun Soo Lee and the author, this implies that integer Khovanov homology of non-split alternating links…

A well-known conjecture of Rasmussen states that for any knot $K$ in $S^{3}$, the rank of the reduced Khovanov homology of $K$ is greater than or equal to the rank of the reduced knot Floer homology of $K$. This rank inequality is supposed…

In this note we present an explicit isomorphism between Khovanov-Rozansky $sl_2$-homology and ordinary Khovanov homology. This result was originally stated in Khovanov and Rozansky's paper \cite{KRI}, though the details have yet to appear…

Khovanov homology is a bigraded Z-module that categorifies the Jones polynomial. The support of Khovanov homology lies on a finite number of slope two lines with respect to the bigrading. The Khovanov width is essentially the largest…

If $P$ is a prime number, we show that reduced $\mathfrak{sl}(P)$ link homology with coefficients in $\mathbf{Z}/P$ detects split links. The argument uses Dowlin's spectral sequence and sutured Floer homology with twisted coefficients. When…

Based on the results of the second author, we define an equivariant version of Lee and Bar-Natan homology for periodic links and show that there exists an equivariant spectral sequence from the equivariant Khovanov homology to equivariant…

Lawrence Roberts, extending the work of Ozsvath-Szabo, showed how to associate to a link, L, in the complement of a fixed unknot, B, in S^3, a spectral sequence from the Khovanov homology of a link in a thickened annulus to the knot Floer…

We compute the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of a family of links, including positive torus links and $\operatorname{Sym}^l$-colored torus knots.

We prove that Khovanov homology and Lee homology with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_2$ are invariant under component-preserving link mutations.

Let $L\subset S^3$ be a link. We study the Heegaard Floer homology of the branched double-cover $\Sigma(L)$ of $S^3$, branched along $L$. When $L$ is an alternating link, $\HFa$ of its branched double-cover has a particularly simple form,…

Asaeda-Przytycki-Sikora, Manturov, and Gabrov\v{s}ek extended Khovanov homology to links in $\mathbb{RP}^3$. We construct a Lee-type deformation of their theory, and use it to define an analogue of Rasmussen's s-invariant in this setting.…

A periodic link, is link in $S^3$ with action of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ by rotation with $2\pi/p$ around a fixed unknot $U$. The equivariant Khovanov homology of periodic links has been studied in \cite{BP17}. We prove that the equivariant Khovanov…

We determine an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ module structure on the equivariant Khovanov-Rozansky homology of (2,k)-torus links following the framework defined in arXiv:2306.10729.

We use the Mackaay-Vaz universal $sl(3)$-link homology to deepen the study of $s$-invariants on Khovanov's link homology associated to $sl(3)$. Such $s$-invariants have already been studied by Lobb and Wu in characteristic 0 and we show how…

We define a homology theory for a certain class of posets equipped with a representation. We show that when restricted to Boolean lattices this homology is isomorphic to the homology of the "cube" complex defined by Khovanov.

We explore the complex associated to a link in the geometric formalism of Khovanov's (n=2) link homology theory, determine its exact underlying algebraic structure and find its precise universality properties for link homology functors. We…

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…

We construct a link in the $3$-space that is not isotopic to any PL link (non-ambiently). In fact, there exist uncountably many $I$-equivalence classes of links. The paper also includes some observations on Cochran's invariants $\beta_i$.

The purpose of this paper is to interpret polynomial invariants of strongly invertible links in terms of Khovanov homology theory. To a divide, that is a proper generic immersion of a finite number of copies of the unit interval and circles…
