Further Study of Kanenobu Knots

Abstract

We determine the rational Khovanov bigraded homology groups of all Kanenobu knots. Also, we determine the crossing number for all Kanenobu knots K(p,q)K(p,q) with pq>0pq > 0 or pqmax{p,q}|pq|\leq \max \{|p|, |q|\}. In the case where pq<0pq < 0 and pq>max{p,q}|pq| > \max \{|p|, |q|\}, we conjecture that the crossing number is p+q+8|p| + |q| + 8.
