In this article, we analyze the structure and relationships between magnitude homology and Eulerian magnitude homology of finite graphs. Building on the work of Kaneta and Yoshinaga, Sazdanovic and Summers, and Asao and Izumihara, we…

We report on the computation of torsion in certain homology theories of congruence subgroups of SL(4,Z). Among these are the usual group cohomology, the Tate-Farrell cohomology, and the homology of the sharbly complex. All of these theories…

We follow the same technics we used before in \cite{AZ} of extending knot Floer homology to embedded graphs in a 3-manifold, by using the Kauffman topological invariant of embedded graphs by associating family of links and knots to a such…

The Gordian graph and H(2)-Gordian graphs of knots are abstract graphs whose vertex sets represent isotopy classes of unoriented knots, and whose edge sets record whether pairs of knots are related by crossing changes or H(2)-moves,…

Knot data analysis (KDA), which studies data with curve-type structures such as knots, links, and tangles, has emerging as a promising geometric topology approach in data science. While evolutionary Khovanov homology has been developed to…

We prove that certain specific sum of enhanced states produce torsion of order two in the Khovanov homology.

We partially solve the conjecture by A.Shumakovitch about torsion in the Khovanov homology of prime, non-split links in S^3. We give a size restriction on the Khovanov homology of almost alternating links. We relate the Khovanov homology of…

For every positive integer $n$ we construct a bigraded homology theory for links, such that the corresponding invariant of the unknot is closely related to the U(n)-equivariant cohomology ring of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$; our construction…

The aim of this paper is to realise the techniques of picture-valued invariants and invariants valued in free groups for long knots in the full torus. Such knots and links are of a particular interest because of their relation to Legendrian…

The flip symmetry on knot diagrams induces an involution on Khovanov homology. We prove that this involution is determined by its behavior on unlinks; in particular, it is the identity map when working over $\mathbb{F}_2$. This confirms a…

The SO(3) Kauffman polynomial and the chromatic polynomial of planar graphs are categorified by a unique extension of the Khovanov homology framework. Many structural observations and computations of homologies of knots and spin networks…

Knot, link, and tangle theory is crucial in both mathematical theory and practical application, including quantum physics, molecular biology, and structural chemistry. Unlike knots and links, tangles impose more relaxed constraints,…

We compute the $k$-colored $\mathfrak{sl}(N)$ homology of the torus knot $T(2,2m+1)$, and we show that it stabilizes as $m\to\infty$ to the integral homology of the free loop space of the complex Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,N)$. In…

We reconsider the su(3) link homology theory defined by Khovanov in math.QA/0304375 and generalized by Mackaay and Vaz in math.GT/0603307. With some slight modifications, we describe the theory as a map from the planar algebra of tangles to…

The study of the homology of diagram algebras has emerged as an interesting and important field. In many cases, the homology of a diagram algebra can be identified with the homology of a group. In this paper we have two main aims. Firstly,…

We formulate the holographic principle for knots and links. For the "space" of all knots and links, torus knots T(2m+1,2) and torus links L(2m,2) play the role of the "boundary" of this space. Using the holographic principle, we find the…
