We show that the Khovanov complex of a rational tangle has a very simple representative whose backbone of non-zero morphisms forms a zig-zag. Furthermore, this minimal complex can be computed quickly by an inductive algorithm. (For example,…

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 present a new algorithm for computing the first discrete homology group of a graph. By testing the algorithm on different data sets of random graphs, we find that it significantly outperforms other known algorithms.

We compute the categorified sl(N) link invariants as defined by Khovanov and Rozansky, for various links and values of N. This is made tractable by an algorithm for reducing tensor products of matrix factorisations to finite rank, which we…

Existing fast algorithms for bilateral and nonlocal means filtering mostly work with grayscale images. They cannot easily be extended to high-dimensional data such as color and hyperspectral images, patch-based data, flow-fields, etc. In…

We define a third grading on Khovanov homology, which is an invariant of annular links but changes by $\pm 1$ under stabilization. We illustrate the use of our computer implementation, and give some example calculations.

Inspired by bordered Floer homology, we describe a type A structure on a Khovanov homology for a tangle, which complements the type D structure in a previous paper. The type A structure is a differential module over a certain algebra. This…

We extend the cobordism based categorification of the virtual Jones polynomial to virtual tangles. This extension is combinatorial and has semi-local properties. We use the semi-local property to prove an applications, i.e. we give a…

In the previous paper we constructed the local system of Khovanov complexes on the Vassiliev space of knots and extended it to the singular locus. In this paper we introduce the definition of the homology theory (local system) of finite…

Two simple "simplicial approximation" tricks are invoked to prove basic results involving (co)-homology with local coefficients.

Computing the Jones polynomial of general link diagrams is known to be $\#$P-hard, while restricting the computation to braid closures on fixed number of strands allows for a polynomial time algorithm. We investigate polynomial time…

We refine Khovanov homology in the presence of an involution on the link. This refinement takes the form of a triply-graded theory, arising from a pair of filtrations. We focus primarily on strongly invertible knots and show, for instance,…
