We discuss a new perspective on Khovanov homology, using categorifications of tensor products. While in many ways more technically demanding than Khovanov's approach (and its extension by Bar-Natan), this has distinct advantage of directly…

We construct an odd version of Khovanov's arc algebra $H^n$. Extending the center to elements that anticommute, we get a subalgebra that is isomorphic to the oddification of the cohomology of the $(n,n)$-Springer varieties. We also prove…

We show a spectral sequence for the rational Khovanov homology of an oriented link in terms of the rational Khovanov complexes and homologies of the link surgeries along an admissible cut. As a non trivial corollary, we give an explicit…

Tensors of order three or higher have found applications in diverse fields, including image and signal processing, data mining, biomedical engineering and link analysis, to name a few. In many applications that involve for example time…

In the integral Khovanov homology of links, the presence of odd torsion is rare. Homologically thin links, that is links whose Khovanov homology is supported on two adjacent diagonals, are known to only contain $\mathbb{Z}_2$ torsion. In…

We define several homology theories for central hyperplane arrangements, categorifying well-known polynomial invariants including the characteristic polynomial, Poincare polynomial, and Tutte polynomial. We consider basic algebraic…

The paper contains an essentially self-contained treatment of Khovanov homology, Khovanov-Lee homology as well as the Rasmussen invariant for virtual knots and virtual knot cobordisms which directly applies to classical knot and classical…

We describe a Python module that we developed to calculate cobordism maps induced on Khovanov homology. As applications of our program, we compute these maps for all incompressible Seifert surfaces for prime knots up to 10 crossings, and…

We investigate Bar-Natan's characteristic two Khovanov link homology theory studying both the filtered and bi-graded theories. The filtered theory is computed explicitly and the bi-graded theory analysed by setting up a family of spectral…

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…

The article discusses an algorithm for recognizing the contour of fragments of a honeycomb block. The inapplicability of ready-made functions of the OpenCV library is shown. Two proposed algorithms are considered. The direct scanning…

In this dissertation, we extend the odd Khovanov bracket to link cobordisms and prove that our construction is functorial up to sign. We then build an odd Khovanov theory for dotted link cobordisms. Out of the dotted theory, a module…

We define a homology theory of virtual links built out of the direct sum of the standard Khovanov complex with itself, motivating the name doubled Khovanov homology. We demonstrate that it can be used to show that some virtual links are…

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…

We present a new algorithm for recovering paths from their third-order signature tensors, an inverse problem in rough analysis. Our algorithm provides the exact solution to this learning problem and improves upon current approaches by an…

Khovanov homology is an invariant for links in the three sphere that categorizes the Jones polynomial. We extend Khovanov's construction to links in 3-manifolds that are connected sums of orientable interval bundles over surfaces. Cutting…

From the very beginning the Khovanov homology appears to be one of the most important invariant of knots; for computational and theoretical reasons it would be useful to operate with reduced version of it - nevertheless the definition given…

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 modify the definition of the Khovanov complex for oriented links in a thickening of an oriented surface to obtain a triply graded homological link invariant with a new homotopical grading.

We construct an algorithm to decide whether two given Legendrian or transverse links are equivalent. In general, the complexity of the algorithm is too high for practical implementation. However, in many cases, when the symmetry group of…
